Theincreasing involvement of women in the workforce, the growing need to balance workand family life and the changing importance of career in people’s lives are influencingthe career decisions of men and women. This paper seeks to highlight the key issuesassociated with employees’ need to balance work and their personal life. Organisationsneed to design human resource policies that better enable their employees to balance theirwork and non-work lives. Researchers and organisations can no longer assume that thetraditional male model of career development is relevant in today’s dynamic world, orthat it is the normative measure for career progress and success. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | SAM/IFSAM World Congress 2004: Scholarly Associations of Management and International Federation of Scholarly Associations of Management's 7th World Congress, Goteborg, Sweden, 5th - 7th July, 2004 | Source of Publication: | SAM/IFSAM VIIth World Congress Proceedings, p. 1-21 | Publisher: | Scandinavian Academy of Management (SAM) and International Federation of Scholarly Associations of Management (IFSAM) | Place of Publication: | Sweden | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 150305 Human Resources Management | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.handels.gu.se/ifsam/ |
