Long Description

Intense globalization, rapidly changing workplaces and family patterns have renewed the international interest in quality of life. With an innovative, multi-method new approach to the interface between work and family, this book examines how we can make sense of different institutional arrangements, work-place conditions and gendered work and care practices that affect the conditions for achieving quality of work and quality of life in eight European countries. The multi-layered analysis provides a deeper understanding of what a 'healthy organization' means from an employee and employer's perspective. The quality of life placement and Social Quality Instrument for measuring the social quality of work in European work-places will be useful to researchers, employers and employees, as well as policymakers. Against this background this challenging analysis outlines a new research agenda.
