QUALITY OF LIFE AND RELATIONS BETWEEN WORK AND FAMILY
Journal Title: Acta Neuropsychologica - Year 2013, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
This article is a review of work on various interrelated and coexisting roles in family, social and professional life. Special attention is given to the ability to balance work and family as it affects the quality of life in healthy adults. The literature on spillover between work and personal/family life reflects two principal theoretical perspectives: negative, focusing on conflict between these roles, and positive, emphasising mutual enrichment. Individual roles are realized simultaneously or sequentially, and are often interwoven; they may complement, expand or disrupt the course of life. Undoubtedly, family/personal life and work constitute the most basic human environment, where important needs are satisfied, determining the level of life satisfaction. The level of involvement in various roles is determined by personal factors, such as education or personality traits, and social factors, such as culture. There exists a continuous spillover between these two domains, which is a natural, dynamic process developing over the entire course of life. They need not cause only conflicts; they may fulfill significant human needs and be the source of joy and happiness. However, satisfaction with both professional and personal life requires balancing the roles. This skill is key for the quality of life of partners. The authors will also summarize briefly some brain correlations related to “healthy” emotions in the family, necessary for building stable and long-term family ties. It seems that the ability to balance work and family roles is the key to improving the quality of life of partners.
