“…cost, time, quality and safety) lead to heavy work demands, forcing construction professionals to spend almost all their time at work. Moreover, getting away from work does not mean the employee’s boss will not give them extra work or interruptions by phone [110]. What’s more, there will be no high productivity or significant contribution in this extra work [111].…”

Construction professionals are prone to work-family conflict and job burnout, which in turn can affect project performance during implementation of delivery. To cope with this, a questionnaire survey was undertaken with construction professionals in the Chinese construction industry and 373 valid responses were received. A theoretical model introducing organizational support as a moderating variable was developed and tested with structural equation modeling. The results showed that there is a positive correlation between work-family conflict and job burnout for construction professionals. Involving organizational support can alleviate the impact of work-family conflict on professionals’ job burnout. Meanwhile, both work-family conflict and job burnout have negative effects on project performance. Therefore, an atmosphere and culture of humanized management should be established within the construction enterprises. Additionally, organizational incentives such as regulations and rules should be formulated assisting employees achieve work-family balance. Such incentives could contribute to the construction industry and improve project performance. Furthermore, this study provides a new theoretical perspective for the management of job burnout and work-family conflict in the construction industry, complementing the existing body of knowledge.

“…Of course, flexible access means that much may be learner-controlled, but the issue of online teaching management remains. As Caproni (1997) suggests, "Discourse [about work-life balance] may further entrench people in the work/life imbalance that they are trying to escape" (p. 46). In other words, people can behave as (voluntary) "slaves" by working faster and harder in less time, in order to make more time for relaxation/leisure in the future, in pursuit of worklife balance.…”

A collaborative research initiative was undertaken to evaluate the pedagogical variation model (PVM) for online learning and teaching at Kuwait University. Outcomes from sample populations of students—both postgraduates and undergraduates—from the Faculty of Education were analyzed for comparison. As predicted in the PVM, the findings indicate that online e-learners do have preferences for particular e-moderator online teaching strategies. No generalizations can be made due to the small size of the sample. However, joint international research initiatives are developing online learning materials in order to widen access to Web courses and resources.
