商品描述
Work-life balance has drawn much attention from academic researchers, professionals, and politicians over the past two decades. However, despite the increased interest globally, there has been an under-representation of academic work on work-life balance across the African continent. So, this book serves as a collection of cases from various contexts across Africa and an exploration of the challenges and how best to manage human resources in this 'Mother Continent' with phenomenal potential.
The book's contributions draw on various types of research (conceptual, theoretical and empirical) and incorporate contextual issues such as technology, politics, culture, and economics to supplement the readers' insights into the varying work-life balance experiences in African countries. By highlighting theoretical underpinnings and emphasising the practical relevance of issues related to managing work and non-work commitments, this book will offer an insightful guide for students andscholars interested in Business Management, Human Resource Management, Sociology of Work, and Industrial and Organisational Psychology in developing economies.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
工作與生活的平衡在過去二十年中引起了學術研究者、專業人士和政治家的廣泛關注。然而,儘管全球對此的興趣增加,非洲大陸在工作與生活平衡方面的學術研究仍然不足。因此,本書作為來自非洲各種背景的案例集,探討了挑戰以及如何在這個擁有巨大潛力的「母大陸」中最佳管理人力資源。
本書的貢獻基於各類型的研究(概念性、理論性和實證性),並納入了技術、政治、文化和經濟等背景問題,以補充讀者對非洲國家不同工作與生活平衡經驗的見解。通過強調理論基礎並強調與管理工作和非工作承諾相關問題的實際重要性,本書將為對商業管理、人力資源管理、工作社會學以及發展中經濟體的工業與組織心理學感興趣的學生和學者提供深入的指導。
