“…Our findings resonate with other scholars' suggestions that persons in Eastern cultures may have different work-family conflict issues than persons in the West-suggestions heretofore not supported with empirical findings. The comparisons presented here indicate that it may not be appropriate to attribute cultural (Aycan 2008;Law 2011;Rao and Indla 2010). Taken together, the results of this study elaborate on the relatively limited knowledge about balancing work stress with life stress.…”

A study of 271 employees in four full-service hotels in China found that work–family conflict directly influences hospitality employees’ social and relaxation intentions. Moreover, these relationships are not mediated by job tension. In practical application, hospitality organizations can maximize return from these results by encouraging employees to take (or by providing) appropriate leisure activities that will help them to effectively cope with work and family role conflicts.

“…Some hotels have already done this, for example, by setting up employee fitness centers to help employees relieve stress (Rao and Indla 2010). Even the presence of a coffee room may provide individuals with time and space that is conducive to relaxation.…”

“…This could mean that the mechanisms for certain job factors are more intricate than for others. In this respect, overload may affect employee's health only via work-home interference, since employees who have a high workload cannot fulfil their domestic duties in due time, often choose shorter vacations and are generally more stressed (Rao & Indla, 2010). This is also in keeping with the effort recovery theory on which some work-home interaction measures were built (Geurts et al, 2003).…”

While work-home interaction has been studied as a mediator between work factors and outcomes, less is known about work-home interaction as a mediator between work factors and mental and physical health. This study analyzes, from a Job Demands-Resources Model framework, whether negative work-home interaction mediates the relationship between job demands and mental/physical health complaints and whether positive work-home interaction mediates the relationship between job resources and health complaints. The statistical results supported our hypotheses, indicating that negative work-home interaction mediated the relationship between job demands (i.e., job insecurity, overload) and health complaints and that positive work-home interaction mediated the relationship between job resources (i.e., growth opportunities, advancement, organizational support) and mental health complaints. These findings broaden the JD-R framework by furthering the understanding of the mechanisms by which work-home interaction impacts an end outcome of interest to organizational psychology -employee health.Keywords work-life interaction, work factors, mental health, physical health.

“…This may suggest that pharmacy students' family members might not have a pharmacy background or they do not show a high preference for pharmacy as a career choice. Inequalities in wages and salaries globally (Rao & Indla, 2010;Hanna et al, 2016) and in Malaysia (Hasan et al, 2010;Manan et al, 2015;) for pharmacists may have discouraged families/parents from preferring pharmacy over medicine and dentistry.…”

Background: Students choose their careers based on many factors, which vary for every country. Recent advancements in healthcare systems have made pharmacy one of the most pursued professions. Aim: To study the factors that influence students in Malaysia to choose pharmacy as their career. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among first-year medicine, dentistry and pharmacy students in a private university in Malaysia. One-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey’s post-hoc test was used to determine the factors that influenced students’ career choices. Results: There were significant differences among medicine, dentistry and pharmacy students in the mean scores for the dimensions ‘economic status’, ‘personal background’, and ‘work-life balance’ which influenced their career choice. Conclusions: Economic status, personal background and work-life balance were the factors that significantly influenced students to choose pharmacy compared with students’ choice of dentistry and medicine.
