Individual and organizational solutions to work-family conflict and strategies for work-life enrichment are explored. It will strongly appeal to students, scholars and professionals in human resource management courses. Contributors: A.S. Ahmad, A.J. Anderson, J.K. Andreassi, A.B. Bakker, B.B. Baltes, A.A.
