2020

Uncertainty at Work How to Regulate it through Leadership in order to improve the Quality of Work Life?

2022

This thesis manuscript focuses on factors able to regulate the uncertainty of people at work. Due to the constant evolution of the organizational world, uncertainty is increasingly becoming a factor with which to combine in different contexts about work. This factor constitutes a risk for individuals due to its aversive nature. In this perspective we have been interested, on the one hand, about theories concerning the concept of uncertainty. This allowed us to better understand and delimit the concept. On the other hand, we looked for ways to regulate uncertainty through the concept of leadership. This led us to consider this regulation as being either potentially possible through a directi…

Distinguishing Workaholism and Work Engagement through Work–Life Conflict

2018

Workaholism and work engagement are described respectively as addiction to work and passion for work, leading to significantly different outcomes in employees’ life. Nevertheless, since they seem to share some features, a useful distinction could be reached by focusing on work–life balance levels of workaholics and engaged workers. The study was carried out by assessing levels of workaholism, work engagement and work–life conflict (work-to-life and life-to-work conflict) of 212 subjects, who completed a questionnaire. Data were analyzed through correlational strategy and structural equation modeling method. As hypothesized, workaholism and work–life conflict showed a positive relationship, …

Mothers’ return-to-work reasons and work–family conflict : does a partner involved in childcare make a difference?

2021

Facilitating mothers’ work–family reconciliation upon their return to work can be considered a viable means of enhancing women’s overall employment participation. This study examined return-to-work reasons among mothers with a one-year-old child, how these reasons are related to mothers’ background characteristics, work-to-family conflict (WFC) and family-to-work conflict (FWC) and whether having a partner home caring for the child protects against such conflicts. Results based on survey data collected from Finnish working mothers (N = 573) in 2016 showed four dimensions of return-to-work reasons: personal importance of work, work- and career-related worries, dissatisfaction with stay-at-ho…
