Work-family conflict in the dual-career family
Article Abstract:
The effect of work-induced stress on family relationships has taken a significant turn with the increasing number of career mothers. A shift in female involvement from home to work and a change in male interests from work to home can induce work-family conflicts. These conflicts result in higher health risks, less effective performance both at home and in the workplace and an overall dissatisfaction with situations. Since the nature of work is a major stress factor, it is suggested that employers look into ways of reducing stress, using both human cognizance and technological developments.

Dynamic and static work-family relationships
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to theoretically and empirically investigate dynamic and static work-family relationships. A model of work and family involvement was developed which provided a rational for role conflict/tension and family and work involvement, marital satisfaction and family involvement, intrinsic satisfaction and work involvement, organizational loyalty and work involvement and intrinsic motivation and work involvement. Results suggested the existence of reciprocal relationships between work and family, at least for the homogenous sample of males analyzed.

Why professionals lie: the impact of professional role conflict on reporting accuracy
Article Abstract:
The reports written by the increasing numbers of professional workers can have an important effect on their clients and the services provided for them. Professsionals may be influenced by such considerations as self-interest and a conflict between their professional role and that of the organisation that employs them. The level of moral development in the individual professional plays a part. If the conflicts are unresolved then lying may result.
