Rezensionen

Powell and Greenhaus are some of the foremost thought leaders on the work-family interface. The decision-making emphasis of this book is a practical approach that fosters the identification of ways in which work-family issues can be effectively managed. The book is comprehensive in covering the different ways work and family can intersect with each other (conflict, enrichment, balance) as well as considering the degree to which diversity in country, culture, and gender affect the work-family interface. This book is definitely a must-read for every work-family scholar.



Wendy J. Casper, University of Texas, Arlington, USA

This is an outstanding book which fills an important gap in the field of work-family research. Undoubtedly, the logical and coherent presentation of reflects the fact that these scholars have been working and publishing jointly for around 10 years. Their writing partnership is seamless and their expertise world leading, making this a readable, relevant and timely book.
