| Description: |
This chapter examines how technological proximity is superseding geographical proximity as organizations shift toward greater use of mobile, telework, and flexible work practices (Hellman, 2008, pp. 204–217; West, 2015; Wrike, 2012). This reflects both societal and technological changes. It is now common for both parents to undertake paid employment in what is termed a “dual-earner” arrangement (Strachan, 2004, p. 14; Wheatley, 2012). There is also an increasing number of single-parent households participating in the workforce (Strachan, 2004). These changes have served to transform the way families manage family care and paid employment, as they strive to address the frequently competing demands and responsibilities of both work and family roles (Edwards & Wajcman, 2005; Parasuraman & Greenhaus, 1997). ; No Full Text |
