Book Description
Originally published in 1960, this study was carried out as part of the research of the Organizational Behavior and Human Relations Program of the Institute of Social Research. The primary purpose was to determine the effects of participation in decision-making on people with different personality characteristics. It was hypothesized that equalitarians and individuals with strong independence needs would be more positively affected by the opportunity to participate in making decisions than authoritarians and people with weaker independence needs. The results, based on data derived in an actual industrial setting, confirmed the hypothesis. The theoretical implications of the findings are discussed.

Book Description
In higher education fundraising, the role of development officers continues to evolve. With a greater need to raise money and the increasing complexities of their organizations, development officers are required to not only raise gifts, but also to assist in organizational functions and to assume administrative responsibilities. Practitioners have indicated that as a result, role ambiguity and role conflict may exist among development officers. For example, some senior development officers are torn between raising money and carrying out management duties. The current study begins with research into development officers' organizational roles, as well as their perceptions of role ambiguity and role conflict. The study indicates that in a decentralized but centrally coordinated public university foundation, development officers, regardless of their salary source, share a similar pattern in carrying out their organizational roles (i.e., they predominantly enact the expert prescriber role). Besides, they all have low levels of both role ambiguity and role conflict. To further explore the issue, this study also examines the relationship of internal communication with development officers' role ambiguity and role conflict. It is found that all development officers have positive evaluations towards internal communication of the university foundation studied. Results also reveal that internal communication content and communication flow are negatively and significantly related to role ambiguity and role conflict.

The book addresses burnout from psychological, legal, and human resources perspectives. Chapters also cover how burnout is defined, symptom recognition, managing and overcoming burnout, and how to avoid career derailment while coping with burnout. - Focuses on burnout in relation to information professionals and their work - Explores how burnout is identified and diagnosed and how it is measured in the workplace - Provides an overview of interdisciplinary research on burnout, incorporating studies from various areas
Handbook of Work-Family Integration

Book Description
In today's industrialized societies, the majority of parents work full time while caring for and raising their children and managing household upkeep, trying to keep a precarious balance of fulfilling multiple roles as parent, worker, friend, & child. Increasingly demands of the workplace such as early or late hours, travel, commute, relocation, etc. conflict with the needs of being a parent. At the same time, it is through work that people increasingly define their identity and self-worth, and which provides the opportunity for personal growth, interaction with friends and colleagues, and which provides the income and benefits on which the family subsists. The interface between work and family is an area of increasing research, in terms of understanding stress, job burn out, self-esteem, gender roles, parenting behaviors, and how each facet affects the others. The research in this area has been widely scattered in journals in psychology, family studies, business, sociology, health, and economics, and presented in diverse conferences (e.g., APA, SIOP, Academy of Management). It is difficult for experts in the field to keep up with everything they need to know, with the information dispersed. This Handbook will fill this gap by synthesizing theory, research, policy, and workplace practice/organizational policy issues in one place. The book will be useful as a reference for researchers in the area, as a guide to practitioners and policy makers, and as a resource for teaching in both undergraduate and graduate courses.
