Interactions between quality of life at work and family: integrative review

Abstract

Background:The family is one of the most important components of people's quality of work life (QWL). This study aims to identify the production of knowledge in national and international journals about the interactions between QWL and family relationships.Method: This is an integrative review of literature, carried out from 2011 to 2016, in the databases: Medline, LILACS, Index Psychology -scientific technical journals, BDENF-nursing, SciELO.ORG, CINAHL, EMBASE, SCOPUS, PubMed and Web of Science. Full-text articles in Portuguese, English and Spanish were available for free in these databases. Results:The corpus of analysis consisted of 83 articles, where 95% of the researchers focused their studies on: a) concepts and dimensions; B) conflicts and balance; C) influence of work in the family; D) health; E) diagnosis; and F) enrichment. Conclusions:There was a lack of studies on the influence of the family and the family environment on work and the possible correlations of QWL and family functionality, denoting the need for future research on these two aspects, aiming to deepen understanding for the improvement of QWL Organizations.

Empreendedorismo e suporte familiar em estudantes de enfermagem do Brasil e Chile

“…tangível, como dinheiro) poderiam desempenhar um papel de apoio social, uma vez que promoveria o otimismo, a identidade empreendedora e a paixão empreendedora, sendo, no entanto, insuficiente para compreender como o entorno social pode moldar o empreendedorismo. (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) Por outro lado, as transformações históricas atuam diretamente nas práticas e saberes na área da saúde. Isto significa dizer que o exercício profissional do enfermeiro é permanentemente influenciado pelos contextos sociais, políticos e econômicos que os acompanham.…”

Modelos relacionales y conflicto trabajo-familia: un estudio con muestras de Brasil y los Estados Unidos de América

“…Studies on work-family confl icts generally deal with the association of this construct with diff erent kinds of phenomena, such as: Quality of life, Well-being, Health (Colichi, Bocchi, Lima, & Popim, 2017;Greenhaus, Collins, & Shaw, 2003;Moen et al, 2015), and Marital quality (De Andrade, Oliveira, & Hatfi eld, 2017;Fellows, Chiu, Hill, & Hawkins, 2016). It is also associated with organizational behavior phenomena, like Performance, Commitment, Engagement and Work satisfaction (Casper, Harris, Taylor-Bianco, & Wayne, 2011; Iskra-Golec, Barnes-Farrell, & Bohle, 2016).…”

The effects of non-clinical burnout on cognitive functioning

“…The main subject of many research studies is work-related stress (e.g., work load, coworker interactions) and how this can lead to burnout. However, although work-related stress is one of the factors that may contribute to burnout onset, human being is a total of complex facets (e.g., personality characteristics, social relationships, family interactions) and because of this complexity it must be always assessed in a whole way (Colichi et al, 2017). Several studies have shown that both a person's characteristics (e.g., personality, gender, age) and occupational vulnerabilities (e.g., effort-reward imbalance, job strain, low social support) are associated with burnout (Lim et al, 2010;Singh et al, 2016).…”

“…Moreover, in their systematic review Beauregard et al (2011) examined 13 longitudinal studies and they did not find sufficient evidence to support the effects of family factors on employees' mental health. The authors concluded that the study of the non-work determinants to employees' mental health is an under-investigated area of research; a notion supported by additional researchers as well (Colichi et al, 2017).…”

“…The main topic of recent research studies is work-related stress (e.g., work load, coworker interactions). However, although work-related stress is one of the factors that may contribute significantly to burnout, humans are a total of complex facets (e.g., social relationships, family interactions) (Colichi et al, 2017). Therefore, in order to have a more comprehensive picture on which factors can lead to burnout, researchers should not only be restricted in employees' working environment, but they should take into account non-work factors as well.…”
