Title: | The South African workplace : meeting the work life balance challenge | Authors: | Mageni, Gavin Francois | Keywords: | Work and family;Hours of labor;Quality of life;Quality of work life;Personnel management | Issue Date: | 2005 | Publisher: | Cape Peninsula University of Technology | Abstract: | The construct of Work Life Balance (WLB) gained international recognition as a business imperative within overseas organisations, realising the reality impact of work-life conflict. The past two decades marked intensive research within countries, such as Canada, on the value-add of these practices on hte bottom-line of the organisation. The pressures created by competing within a global economy marked the importance of creating a sustainable global competitive advantage through human capital. Within the last decade this aspect has been prominenet on various research forums. South African organisations which could be regarded as Multi - National Corporations (MNCs) swiftly adopted these practices as a cloned version on their South African counterparts. However, no actual studies provide insight into the applicability of WLB models to the South frican workplace. | Description: | Thesis (MTech (Human Resources Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2005. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11838/1743 |
