Domestic violence in Africa: a glance through the DHS survey

Differential effects of workaholism and work engagement on the interference between life and work domains

As a consequence, it was expected that workaholism and work engagement would have different effects on perceived interference between work and life domains. We assessed levels of workaholism, work engagement, work-to-life interference, and life-to-work interference in a sample …

Working-Time Regimes and Work-Life Balance in Europe

Yet there certainly are elements that can be adopted to the local culture, in this case, in Indonesia. The different models of education in Fi…
