New Ideal Worker e-bog

Many managers and organizations still assume that employees who devote long hours to their jobs with no family interference are "e;ideal workers"e;. However, this assumption has negative consequences for employees, their families and, more interestingly, for their organizations. This book provides a wealth of empirical evidence from around the globe, as well as innovative conceptual frameworks, to help practitioners and researchers alike to go beyond the classic notion of the "e;ideal worker"e; and to rethink what companies actually need from their employees. As it demonstrates, doing so will be beneficial for countless men and women, and for society at large.
