Organizational Research and Consulting

• Work-Life Balance

Conflicting responsibilities arising from work and nonwork life roles are a frequently cited stressor for many individuals. In many instances, this conflict has been found to lead to a deterioration of individual and organizational job satisfaction, commitment, and performance. The potential consequences for neglecting this issue are substantial. It is therefore important that an organization assess and track the work-nonwork conflict of its workforce and implement human resource programs to facilitate a healthy work environment.

 

Our staff of applied social and psychological scientists has the experience and skills to evaluate work-nonwork conflict, its predictors, and its outcomes. Based on this evaluation, we will work with you to develop or modify programs to promote a healthy work environment. Our assessment will focus on key predictors of conflict like work support, job involvement, job stress, and flexibility, and on important outcomes such as job satisfaction and performance. Given the implications of work-nonwork conflict for employees and organizations, as well as the diversity of individuals' life demands, our approach is to balance inclusiveness, pragmatism, and emerging psychological theory.
