“…Unlike what was expected and also what had been observed in previous studies [ 53 ], enrichment between family and work is not related to military well-being during the peacekeeping mission. This result may have occurred because the peacekeepers are estranged from family during the mission and, consequently, the professional dimension is much more preponderant as they are fully involved with the operational and administrative aspects of the mission.…”

“…In fact, previous studies have already suggested that WFE has a mediating role. For example, Nicklin and colleagues [ 53 ] found that WFE mediates the relationship between a supervisor’s support and general well-being. In the same vein, other researchers [ 54 ] also observed that WFE has a mediating role by explaining the relationship between perceived organizational support and general well-being.…”

Based on the work-family enrichment theory, this study analyzes the contribution of work-family and family-work enrichment to explain the military’s well-being during a peacekeeping mission. The data used were collected in a sample of 306 Brazilian soldiers, who were married and/or had children, during the phase named “employment of troops” (i.e., when peacekeepers had been in the Haitian territory and, as a result, away from their families, for between three to five months). Data analysis was performed using the Structural Equations Model. It was observed that the military’s perception of their spouses’ support for their participation during the mission had a positive relationship with both family-to-work enrichment and work-to-family enrichment, and the work-to-family enrichment mediated the relationship between the perception of the spouses’ support and the military’s health perception and general satisfaction with life. Theoretical and practical implications were discussed and limitations and suggestions for future research were presented.

“…As uncontrolled levels of stress are linked to increased absenteeism, presenteeism, and increased worker compensation claims, there are numerous negative consequences for the university and students. Nicklin, McNall, Cerasoli, Varga, and McGivney (2016) found that the ODL learners' physical isolation and lack of interpersonal…”

Universities depend on committed efforts of all staff members to function effectively. However, where occupational demands outweigh occupational resources, challenging work becomes stressful, followed by an exhausted, disengaged workforce. It is unlikely that disengaged university staff will provide adequate care and service to geographically distant and psychologically isolated learners. As students rely heavily on the support of both administrative staff, as well as academic staff, to manage their learning experience, the work stress experienced by both groups deserves research attention. This study employed a comparative mixed method design, including administrative and academic staff from an Open Distance Learning university in South Africa using the Job Demands-Resources measurement instrument. Findings established from 294 university staff members elucidated staff members' experience of work stress within a mega-distance learning university in the developing world. Mindfulness about the stressors that influence university personnel can inform strategic interventions required to alleviate distress for each employment category.

“…Wasilik and Bolliger (2009) identified the major concerns related to teaching online as technological challenges, lack of face‐to‐face communication, and student involvement. Nicklin et al (2016) investigated the online faculty's work–life balance and work outcomes. Their results showed that satisfying online faculty's basic psychological needs was related to such factors as work–family enrichment, work satisfaction and performance, intention to have the responsibility of online courses, and work–family conflict and stress.…”

This study aims to investigate the causes of the performance deficiencies of distance faculty in Turkey and to design interventions for performance improvement accordingly. This article presents the first part of this comprehensive study: causes of the performance deficiencies. The externality–tangibility (E‐T) model of human performance guided the study, and grounded theory research design was employed. The participants were all stakeholders of distance education (DE): DE experts including the national policy makers, the faculty, administrators, students, and support staff. The data were collected through semi‐structured interviews, through observations on distance courses, and from the relevant documents. Interview schedules were developed separately for each participant group. The gathered data were analyzed using constant comparative analysis, and the findings of the first part are presented here by using Ishikawa diagrams. These findings reveal diverse but interrelated causes of the deficiencies classified according to the nine elements of the E‐T model.
