“…Moreover, WI is sought for to compensate unsatisfying social relationships out of work (Fortner et al, 2004). However, whilst involvement augments self-expression in the workplace (Jans, 1985), it might entail an intensification of organizational commitments (Palumbo, 2020a), that puts the individual ability to deal with everyday life under stress (Rokicka, 2016) and undermines the individual WLB (Valeyre, 2004). An excess of WI has been associated with workaholism that leads to an incessantly compulsion to work due to inner pressures driving a perception of guilt when not working (Guest, 2002).…”

PurposeBeing involved at work advances accountants' contribution to organizational success. However, scholars are not consistent in discussing involvement's implications on work–life balance (WLB). The article aims to address this issue, investigating involvement's effects on the accountants' ability to manage the work–life interplay.Design/methodology/approachSecondary data on a sample of 538 accountants were collected from the sixth European Working Condition Survey (EWCS). A serial mediation analysis was designed to obtain evidence of involvement's implications on WLB through the mediating role of work engagement and work satisfaction.FindingsInvolvement negatively affected the accountants' ability to deal with the work–life interplay. Engagement and satisfaction with work mediated this relationship. More specifically, involved accountants who were engaged and satisfied with their work conditions were less likely to report struggles between work and life.Research limitations/implicationsInvolvement implies an intensification of work, heralding an overlapping between work and life. Nonetheless, accountants who are engaged and satisfied with work are less touched by involvement's drawback on WLB. A precautionary approach should be taken to avoid that involvement results in workaholism, thus undermining individual well-being.Originality/valueThe article originally discusses involvement's implications on WLB across accountants. Being involved at work impairs the individual ability to achieve a balance between work and life, endangering well-being at work. Whilst the findings cannot be generalized beyond the accounting profession, they deliver some intriguing insights that highlight avenues for further developments.

“…The prioritization of work originated by involvement determines overlapping of work and life (Benoliel and Somech, 2014). Blurring boundaries, involvement has negative implications on the individual ability to balance work and life (Rokicka, 2016), endangering well-being (Chen et al, 2020). In sum, the following is assumed: H1.…”

“…Parents with higher socio-economic status and higher qualifications not only actively engage in making school choice for their children but also give preference to school academic performance in the selection process (Burgess et al, 2009). Parental socio-economic status and active engagement with children's school education are positively associated with children's educational outcomes (Gorard and See, 2013;Rokicka, 2016). School selection is an important aspect of parental engagement with their children's education.…”

AbstractIn Pakistan school education is not compulsory for children and, therefore, sending a child to school is a matter of choice for parents. For those parents who choose school education for their children the options are government schools, private fees paid schools and Islamic education schools (Madrassahs). This research uses a large scale survey data collected in Pakistan for the years 2013 and 2014 in order to analyse association patterns between parental education and school choice for their children. The available information on 192, 789 parents has been used to measure the effect size of parental education on the type of school they choose for their children. The results show that parents having attended a formal school does not strongly relate with children's school enrolment. However, parents' higher number of years in formal education has a positive relation with children's enrolment in private schools and parents' having lesser number of years spent in formal education is positively related with children's enrolment is Madrassahs. The differences among parental school choice are noticeable between private schools and Madrassahs but less obvious between government schools and private schools. These findings are important to demonstrate the role of different school types in a society, and how parental education is related with overall stratification at school level. The research evidence presented here calls for a national policy where school education should be made compulsory for children and all schools should function under same regulations of children's access to school education. Disadvantaged parents should not have to rely on Madrassah education for their children and it should rather be parents' choice against state-maintained or private schools. IntroductionSchools are generally responsible for providing a social service of educating young children. When an important decision of children's school is made then parents have expectations that the school will be a safe place and all efforts will be made to provide a good learning environment for their children. These expectations are universal and irrespective of parents' social class or income status. However, schools provide different services from each other which make education a competitive market. Not all parents will have means, aspiration or knowledge to enter this market of schools. This emphasises the role of a national and free of cost school system where parents who have no means to enter in the market o...

“…In contemporary Chinese families, many fathers are increasingly aware of their important role in the growth of children (Xu & Xu, 2016). However, they usually do not have enough time with their children due to high work pressure (Rokicka, 2016). At present, it is worth for further discussion father involvement in education influence on children's mental health.…”

Previous studies have shown that quality and the quantity of father involvement in education play an important rolein children’s development. The influence of father involvement in education on Chinese children's mental healthstatus still needs further study. To understand the present situation of father involvement in education and its impacton children's mental health, this study will concentrate on the impact of father involvement on the mental healthstatus of primary school students, This study surveyed 1669 primary school students in Yancheng, China. It waspointed out that 45.1% of fathers were not active in children's education, and 25.8% of fathers have not beensufficient time to accompany their children. Children's sex and grade were not associated with father involvement ineducation, which was linked to their father's occupation and education level. Father involvement dramaticallyaffected primary school students' sensitive tendency and impulsive tendency. Father involvement can make childrenmore optimistic and less focus on trifles and suspicious. More father involvement in education leads to better mentalhealth status. These results suggest the importance of increasing father involvement in education in promoting mentalhealth status in primary school students.
