ABSTRACT

As discussed 111 Chapter 1, the increasing number of women entering the workforce has led to concerns about the need for balanced commitment to work and personal life (Schwartz, 1992; Davidson and Burke, 1994). In addition, these concerns are not only women's concerns; as societal values change, men have expressed interest in a more balanced work commitment as well (Burke and Nelson, 1998; Friedman and Galinsky, 1992; Parasuraman and Greenhaus, 1997).
