“…In addition, having children and being young increased travelers' WFC to some extent. These results are also in line with an earlier study concerning business 804 CDI 19,7 travelers ( Jensen, 2013) and others affected by WFC in general ( Jansen et al, 2003;Kinnunen et al, 2004). Furthermore, WFC was at a lower level among travelers who exercised regularly, a finding that may relate to the fact that regular physical activity is important to well-being (Daley and Parfitt, 1996;Dubbert, 2002) and suggesting exercise may boost resources available to deploy to meet work and family commitments.…”

“…There are at least three earlier studies focussing on work-family or work-life interaction among IBTs ( Jensen, 2013;Mäkelä et al, 2015;Westman et al, 2008). Westman et al (2008) reported that the number of trips did not predict WFC but the level of WFC varied among women during pre-, on-and after-trip stages to an extent that was statistically significant.…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to study well-being among the internationally mobile work force by exploring the relationships between international business traveling, work-family conflict (WFC), and health issues. In this study, these relationships are examined on the basis of the health impairment process of the job demands-resources model. More specifically, the study examines the role of WFC as a mediator between international business travel and sleep problems using a full panel design. Design/methodology/approach -The data for this study are drawn from Finnish employees whose work involved international business travel (n ¼ 868) and who answered two surveys with a one-year time lag. Findings -The results showed that international business travel in terms of the number of travel days per year, while not predicting sleep problems directly over time, did significantly increase WFC, which in turn increased sleep problems. Thus, WFC functioned as a mediator in the relationship between business travel and subsequent sleep problems. Practical implications -The results indicate that family-friendly HR policies and practices might help international business travelers (IBTs) reduce levels of WFC, which could in turn protect them from harmful health effects, particularly sleep problems. Originality/value -The study examines the understudied professional group of IBTs and contributes to the knowledge on their well-being and WFC issues.

“…Emotional exhaustion manifests itself by the lack of energy, with emotional resources being fully consumed by work (Maslach, Jackson, Leiter, Schaufeli & Schwab, ). A similar association as that between work‐role conflict and emotional exhaustion has also been demonstrated between work‐family conflict and emotional exhaustion, (e.g., Geurts, Rutte & Peeters, ; Jensen, ).…”

By using a two-wave panel design, the present study aimed to study causal, reversed, and reciprocal relations among work-role conflict, work-family conflict, and emotional exhaustion. The Conservation of Resources theory was applied as a theoretical framework. The study was conducted in a large Norwegian oil and gas company (n = 1703). The results demonstrated positive cross-lagged effects of work-role conflict and work-family conflict on emotional exhaustion. In addition, emotional exhaustion predicted work-family conflict over time, and work-family conflict predicted work-role conflict over time, indicating the presence of reciprocal effects. The current study adds new knowledge to the positioning of work-family conflict in relation to perceived conflict in the workplace and emotional exhaustion.

“…In the US alone, $283B was spent on business travel in 2014. 84 However, such travel can be disruptive both to the business and the personal life of the traveler (Gustafson, 2012) including contributing to family conflict and burnout (Jensen, 2014). Nevertheless, for business (let alone personal and family relationships) face-to-face contact is thought to be essential.…”

SUMMARYVirtual reality (VR) started about 50 years ago in a form we would recognize today [stereo head-mounted display (HMD), head tracking, computer graphics generated images] -although the hardware was completely different. In the 1980s and 1990s, VR emerged again based on a different generation of hardware (e.g., CRT displays rather than vector refresh, electromagnetic tracking instead of mechanical). This reached the attention of the public, and VR was hailed by many engineers, scientists, celebrities, and business people as the beginning of a new era, when VR would soon change the world for the better. Then, VR disappeared from public view and was rumored to be "dead. " In the intervening 25 years a huge amount of research has nevertheless been carried out across a vast range of applications -from medicine to business, from psychotherapy to industry, from sports to travel. Scientists, engineers, and people working in industry carried on with their research and applications using and exploring different forms of VR, not knowing that actually the topic had already passed away.The purpose of this article is to survey a range of VR applications where there is some evidence for, or at least debate about, its utility, mainly based on publications in peer-reviewed journals. Of course not every type of application has been covered, nor every scientific paper (about 186,000 papers in Google Scholar): in particular, in this review we have not covered applications in psychological or medical rehabilitation. The objective is that the reader becomes aware of what has been accomplished in VR, where the evidence is weaker or stronger, and what can be done. We start in Section 1 with an outline of what VR is and the major conceptual framework used to understand what happens when people experience it -the concept of "presence. " In Section 2, we review some areas where VR has been used in science -mostly psychology and neuroscience, the area of scientific visualization, and some remarks about its use in education and surgical training. In Section 3, we discuss how VR has been used in sports and exercise. In Section 4, we survey applications in social psychology and related areas -how VR has been used to throw light on some social phenomena, and how it can be used to tackle experimentally areas that cannot be studied experimentally in real life. We conclude with how it has been used in the preservation of and access to cultural heritage. In Section 5, we present the domain of moral behavior, including an example of how it might be used to train professionals such as medical doctors when confronting serious dilemmas with patients. In Section 6, we consider how VR has been and might be used in various aspects of travel, collaboration, and industry. In Section 7, we consider mainly the use of VR in news presentation and also discuss different types of VR. In the concluding Section 8, we briefly consider new ideas that have recently emerged -an impossible task since during the short time we have written this page even newer idea...
