It further examined relationships between information satisfaction and multi-dimensional quality of life (QoL).

Nixon-McInnes assess performance by results rather than by 'face time', and performance and salaries are managed openly and accountably. Employees manage their own work schedules, and the organisation encourages socialising and openly acknowledges the importance of their employees' non-working lives.

Participants were predominately female (N= 52) with disease duration spanning three months to 52 years. Fifty per cent had moderate RA, 35.3 per cent severe, and 14.7 per cent mild.

This study aims to test an expanded ERI model in predicting work-life conflict (WLC) in university employees. Three hypotheses relating to the ERI are tested.

Indeed, it has been argued that without the systematic empirical evaluation of the success of coaching interventions, coaching practice may be seen as being based on hypothetical theories and conjecture (Biswas-Diener & Dean, 2007). It is, therefore, necessary to develop coaching techniques that are firmly grounded in evidence-based principles (Stober & Grant, 2006; Linley, 2006).

A national survey conducted in the USA indicated that the proportion of workers who reported feeling highly stressed had more than doubled between 1985 and 1990 (Spielberger & Reheiser, 1994).

During a global recession where developing work-life balance policies may not be considered organizational priorities; we argue that the need for systematic research into work-life balance has never been greater.

It is argued that where HBCs are more realistic and, for example, based on rapid adjustment to current personal health circumstances, the psychological strain and negative impact on QoL that often accompanies cancer (Portenoy et al., 1994; Kornblith et al., 2001) might, to a certain degree, be reduced.
