Hi Uthpala,
Brenda Lautsch of Simon Fraser and I have some tools and self
assessments on the different ways people manage relationships between
work and personal life in a new book coming out in December. The book is
called /CEO of Me: Creating a Life that Works in the Flexible Job Age/.
The ISBN: 9780132349994 . The publisher is Wharton School Publishing.
www.whartonsp.com and can be ordered now at Amazon and Barnes and Nobles
com. Readers identify which of six work-life “patterns” they fit into
and how to move towards a pattern that’s more productive and comfortable
with some tips and tools for change.
Brenda and I also have some scales on work -life boundary management and
job control that are helpful based on earlier work in a journal article.
Kossek, E., Lautsch, B., Eaton, S. 2006. Telecommuting, control, and
boundary management: Correlates of policy use and practice, job control,
and work-family effectiveness. J/ournal of Vocational Behavior, 68,/*
*347-367.
There are also some scales on effectiveness at home and work and
effective work family climates and caregiving decision-making in :
Kossek, E. E., Noe, Ray, & Colquitt, Jason. 2001. Caregiving decisions,
well-being and performance: The effects of place and provider as a
function of dependent type and work-family climates, /Academy of
Management Journal/, 44 (1): 29-44.
Good luck,
