Work-Nonwork Management: Research and Practice in a Changing Work Context advances the understanding of how individuals, couples, teams, and organizations can effectively navigate work-nonwork integration in ways that promote wellbeing and productivity.

The book considers how individuals form and shape boundaries between their work and nonwork roles, sheds light on the role of supervisors in enabling individuals’ work-nonwork management while effectively leading teams with diverging work-nonwork needs and interests and clarifies how organizations can develop and implement effective work-nonwork policies. Highlighting the importance of embracing work-nonwork diversity within organizational culture, the expert contributors offer hands-on recommendations to facilitate the handling of and benefit from having multiple roles in this new work context. Going beyond the traditional, the book considers the experiences of blue-collar and non-standard workers, individuals employed in family businesses and small-to-medium-sized businesses, and LGBTQIA+ individuals, as well as adopting a global perspective by looking at cross-cultural differences in how individuals reconcile and negotiate their work and nonwork roles.

Essential reading for students and academics in psychology and management studying the work-nonwork interface, this volume also serves as an invaluable resource for supervisors, HR professionals, and organizational decision-makers seeking to support employee wellbeing while enhancing organizational attractiveness in an increasingly competitive talent marketplace.

'Amid constant societal and technological changes, managing work-nonwork roles has become a highly relevant and pressing issue for all. With its unique multifoci perspective—considering individuals and couples, leaders and teams, and entire organizations—this collection sets a new standard for understanding the complexities of work-nonwork dynamics in contemporary life'.

Eunae Cho, Assistant Professor in the Department of Business Administration, National Chengchi University, Taipei, Taiwan

'The editors have assembled a diverse group of talented scholars to dissect the features of today’s work scene and examine actions that can be taken by three stakeholders—employees and their families, supervisors and work teams, and organizations—to successfully address the challenges'. 

 Jeffrey H. Greenhaus, Professor Emeritus of Management, Drexel University, Philadelphia, USA    

'A unique feature of this edited book I particularly enjoyed is its novel chapters on especially under-examined topics such as managing work-life issues in teams, couples, non-hetero-normative families, smaller enterprises, and for fathers'.

Dr. Ellen Ernst Kossek, Distinguished Management and Family Scholar, Purdue University West Lafayette, Indiana USA
