However, despite the increased interest globally, there has been an under-representation of academic work on work-life balance across the African continent. So, this book serves as a collection of cases from various contexts across Africa and an exploration of the challenges and how best to manage human resources in this 'Mother Continent' with phenomenal potential. The book's contributions draw on various types of research (conceptual, theoretical and empirical) and incorporate contextual issues such as technology, politics, culture, and economics to supplement the readers' insights into the varying work-life balance experiences in African countries. By highlighting theoretical underpinnings and emphasising the practical relevance of issues related to managing work and non-work commitments, this book will offer an insightful guide for students and scholars interested in Business Management, Human Resource Management, Sociology of Work, and Industrial and Organisational Psychology in developing economies. 001482500 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 19, 2023). 001482500 650_6 $$aConciliation travail-vie personnelle$$zAfrique. 001482500 650_6 $$aSociologie industrielle$$zAfrique. 001482500 650_6 $$aPsychologie du travail$$zAfrique. 001482500 650_0 $$aWork-life balance$$zAfrica.$$0(DLC)sh2009010770 001482500 650_0 $$aIndustrial sociology$$zAfrica.$$vCase studies$$0(DLC)sh2008104568 001482500 650_0 $$aPsychology, Industrial$$zAfrica. 001482500 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001482500 7001_ $$aAjonbadi, Hakeem Adeniyi,$$eeditor. 001482500 7001_ $$aMordi, Chima,$$eeditor. 001482500 7001_ $$aAdekoya, Olatunji David,$$eeditor. 001482500 77608 $$iebook version :$$z9783031380082 001482500 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z303138007X$$z9783031380075$$w(OCoLC)1382625294 001482500 852__ $$bebk 001482500 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-38008-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001482500 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1482500$$pGLOBAL_SET 001482500 980__ $$aBIB 001482500 980__ $$aEBOOK 001482500 982__ $$aEbook 001482500 983__ $$aOnline 001482500 994__ $$a92$$bISE
