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 well-being while enhancing organizational attractiveness in an increasingly competitive talent marketplace.
