This research study was conducted with faculty women.
The study focused on the choices that women
made in managing relations between work and life away
from work. Through in depth interviews the various
components that influence these choices were
investigated. The study focused on cultural demands,
organizational demands and personal influences. The
findings stress the importance of an individual
worldview in strategy formation for work/life
negotiations. The findings also confirm the
importance of organizational climate in attempts
at balance. Finally, the study highlights the unique
issues that arise for singles in their attempt to
manage work and life. This study displays the need
for a greater understanding of the individual and
organization when designing and implementing
work/life policies. The individual’s unique views
and issues along with their placement within an
organizational context will significantly impact
their ability to negotiate a satisfactory attempt at
work/life management.
