    Wilmar B. Schaufeli, Arnold B. Bakker, Willem van Rhenen · 2009 · Journal of Organizational Behavior · 2,043 citations

    Abstract The present longitudinal survey among 201 telecom managers supports the Job Demands‐Resources (JD‐R) model that postulates a health impairment process and a motivational process. As hypothesized, results of structural equation modeling analyses revealed that: (1) increases in job demands (i.e., overload, emotional demands, and work‐home interference) and decreases in job resources (i.e., social support, autonomy, opportunities to learn, and feedback) predict burnout, (2) increases in job resources predict work engagement, and (3) burnout (positively) and engagement (negatively) predict registered sickness duration (“involuntary” absence) and frequency (“involuntary” absence), respec

  5. Flexible Working, Work–Life Balance, and Gender Equality: Introduction

    Heejung Chung, Tanja van der Lippe · 2018 · Social Indicators Research · 716 citations

    This special brings together innovative and multidisciplinary research (sociology, economics, and social work) using data from across Europe and the US to examine the potential flexible working has on the gender division of labour and workers' work-life balance.

  19. Work Life Balance and Wellbeing, and the Un/changing Nature of Teachers’ Work

    Kay Whitehead · 2013 · Education Research and Perspectives

    This article explores the relationship between teachers’ work and the condition known as “neurasthenia” or “strain” in the early twentieth century, focusing on debates during the South Australian Royal Commission on Education in 1911–1912. It then examines two contemporary policy documents related to teachers’ work in South Australia, highlighting the current emphasis on work-life balance and teacher wellbeing as modern counterparts to historical concerns about strain. The author argues that these contemporary focuses do little to address the structural conditions of teachers’ work, which have remained largely unchanged over the past century.
