The article is theoretical in nature, based on a selective review and analysis of the literature on teachers, education, as well as well-being and the management of modern organisations. The aim of the article is not to analyse the competence model of the teacher, nor the areas related to the strictly professional preparation of teachers, but rather to provoke discussion, stimulate reflection on the need to take action aimed at supporting teachers in feeling satisfaction and contentment with their work. As well as on the positive consequences of such an approach for building their personal well-being, which acts as an important condition for building a professional image of the teaching profession and improves the quality of teachers’ work. For this purpose, the article briefly characterises the current professional situation of teachers and confronts it with the practices used in modern organisations that treat employees as a key resource of the organisation.

Artykuł ma charakter teoretyczny, bazuje na wybiórczym przeglądzie i analizie literatury dotyczącej nauczyciela, dobrostanu oraz zarządzania nowoczesną organizacją. Celem artykułu nie jest analiza modelu kompetencyjnego nauczyciela ani obszarów związanych z jego zawodowym przygotowaniem do pracy, ale raczej wywołanie dyskusji, wzbudzenie refleksji na temat konieczności podjęcia działań ukierunkowanych na wspieranie nauczycieli, w odczuwaniu przez nich satysfakcji i zadowolenia z pracy oraz pozytywnych konsekwencji takiego podejścia dla budowania ich osobistego dobrostanu jako istotnego warunku w drodze do budowania profesjonalnego wizerunku zawodu nauczyciela oraz poprawy jakości jego pracy. W tym celu w artykule dokonano krótkiej charaktery¬styki aktualnej sytuacji zawodowej nauczycieli oraz skonfrontowano ją z praktykami stosowanymi w nowoczesnych organizacjach traktujących pracowników jako kluczowy zasób organizacji.

Academic mobility is usually perceived and discussed as a positive phenomenon - as a prerequisite for building a competitive and successful economy and quality science. Academic mobility has now become essential to building a successful academic career in many research domains. On the policy level the negative impact of academic mobility on researchers’ lives and especially women’s is usually overlooked and marginalized. In my paper I focus on academic mobility in the context of academics’ relationships and family lives. I ask two research questions: What is the impact of mobility on researchers’ relationships? How does mobility affect the lives of the partners of mobile researchers? The analysis is based on i) 16 in-depth interviews with academics from various fields of research about their experiences of long-term fellowships abroad in the early stages of their academic path and on ii) 16 in-depth joint interviews with Czech dualcareer academic couples. The analysis shows that academic mobility has a great and significant impact on the family and partnership lives of migrating researchers. For many, especially the partners of migrating researchers, mobility means they have to make many concessions in their private and family lives. I conclude that the impact of academic mobility on people’s partnership lives is highly gendered because couples’ work and family lives are closely intertwined.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore configurations of positive versus negative interactions between work and home (WHI) and their relation to burnout and demographic characteristics. Material and Methods: Sample of 533 Polish workers were interviewed by means of self-administered questionnaires (SWING and MBI-GS). Demographic and work characteristics were also controlled. Results: Cluster analysis distinguished 5 types of WHIs: positive WHI (18%), negative WHI (15.9%), no interaction (29.3%), mutual positive interactions (15.4%) and positive HWI (21.4%). The quality of WHI was associated with number of work hours and tenure at main place of employment. The effect of gender on the quality of work-home interaction was not significant. Configuration of WHIs affected the level of burnout. Again, there was no significant difference between men and women in terms of burnout and its sub-dimensions. The least burned-out were people from positive WHI, positive HWI and mutual positive interaction groups. The most burned-out were people who experienced negative WHI the most often. In this group, predominance of men working more than 10 h per day was observed. The majority of study group (71%) experienced rather integration than segmentation of both spheres. Conclusions: Our results suggest that segmentation is not an universal and effective strategy of coping with work and home demands – it may prevent the positive home-work spillover, which can be buffer or remedy against stress or burnout. We consider cluster analysis the appropriate method in research on relation to work-family balance issue, which may be useful in unraveling relationships between this phenomenon and attitudes and behaviors.

The article provides a detailed insight into a critical stage in the life course of young women. It focuses on the transition to first-time motherhood among women with tertiary education in heterosexual dual-earner couples in the Czech Republic. The plans of pregnant women regarding their working lives following the birth of their first child are compared with the subsequent realities of their lives (the first eighteen months of their motherhood). The study is based on longitudinal qualitative research conducted between 2011 and 2014. The research revealed that pregnant women did not consider motherhood and paid work as contradictory and that most of them anticipated working before their child´s third birthday. Due to the reality of motherhood and the chances of combining childcare and work, a number of the women in the sample changed their plans, did not return to work once their children reached eighteen months of age and did not expect to return to work in the near future. The lack of available non-maternal childcare or the unwillingness to take advantage of it were found to be the key factors in their decision not to work, coupled with a shortage of part-time work and flexible working arrangements (working hours and place of work). Conversely, the offer of flexible working conditions, the prospect of good financial rewards and a positive relationship between the woman and her work constituted the key reasons for women to return to work during the first eighteen months of their child’s age. With regard to the fulfilment of their plans, structural conditions and constraints were identified as being of greater importance than personal preferences.

In the presented article, we deal with the issue of work-life balance after the transposition of DIRECTIVE (EU) 2019/1158 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 20 June 2019 on work-life balance for parents and carers into the Slovak legal order. In their publishing activities, the authors have been dealing with gender equality and the impact of European legal measures on the legal order of the Slovak Republic. The aforementioned directive was inspired by the Swedish parental leave system as well as the gender-equal approach to employees, but it must be noted that its adoption into the Slovak legal system was not without problems and the result is less than ideal. Through an analysis of the current law and comparison, the authors come up with their own considerations that would contribute to increasing the level of gender equality in the Slovak Republic and raise the status of working parents to at least the level of the European average.

Aim/purpose – The impact of teleworking on the work-life balance is still not clear. Since women are the ones who tend to assume most of the domestic tasks, our paper aims to determine, in gender terms and with a theoretical approach, how the effects of teleworking may affect the division of domestic tasks and the reconciliation of the private and professional spheres. Design/methodology/approach – This paper is based on a literature review and focuses on theoretical perspectives. Findings – On the one hand, the flexibility offered by teleworking during the health crisis may have enabled women to achieve a better work-life balance by offering them the possibility of not having to stop working despite the family responsibilities they had to assume. On the other, the unequal distribution of unpaid domestic work, which has continued and even increased during the crisis, has forced many women to quit their jobs. Research implications/limitations – The health crisis has shown that as long as teleworking is not organized in a way challenging the assumption of the home as a female environment, the office will stay a male environment with gender inequalities always prevailing between home and work. Originality/value/contribution – This paper contributes to the literature on teleworking by highlighting that generalizing teleworking without considering gender aspects may be harmful to female workers. Such a finding is important in the actual context of the development of hybrid organizations.

The main aim of this study was to examine the influence of attachment styles in work-life balance. Prior research has demonstrated that attachment styles are important antecedents of interpersonal relationship quality and psychological well-being (Mikulincer & Shaver, 2007). Despite this, the theory of attachment styles has been largely ignored by researchers interested in workplace phenomena. When researchers began exploring the nature of adult attachment, they primarily focused on romantic relationships. Implementation of the theory into organizational settings began with topics such as leadership dynamics where the parent to child parallel is fairly obvious (Harms, 2011). Over the past two decades, however, number of studies have attempted to examine the role of attachment styles and a variety of behaviors, attitudes, and experiences in the workplace setting (e.g. Richards & Schat, 2011; Geller & Bamberger, 2009). The research sample consisted of 78 female middle school teachers. Data collection consisted of attachment style diagnostics using the Czech version of Experiences in Close Relationships and semistructured interview assessing respondents’ work-life. Depending on the attachment style, 15 interviews were conducted covering an equal number of secure, anxious and avoidant respondents. Using methodology of grounded theory, data analysis consisted of coding transcripted interviews, identifying key points and grouping them into concepts and categories. Results indicate that individuals with anxious attachment were more likely to experience negative spillover in both directions. Purely positive spillover occurred mainly among secure individuals. Avoidant individuals tended towards segmentation between domains. Secures mostly identified with their work, and individuals with ambivalent attachment fluctuated between segmentation and identification. Different reactions to authority confrontation were also found. Individuals with anxious attachment tend to subordinate to authorities. Avoidant indiviuals showed more assertiveness and resistance. Secure indiviuals acknowledged both personal and role dimentions. According to the study of Summer and Knight (2001), individuals with anxious attachment experience higher levels of negative spillover from home to work than did secures and avoidants. Secure individuals were also more likely to experience positive spillover in both directions. Prior research suggests that securely attached individuals are able to prevent the spreading of negative affect (Mikulincer & Orbach, 1995), are more likely to use constructive coping strategies in dealing with stress (Mikulincer, Florian, & Weller, 1993). Kahn and Kram (1994) suggested authority stances similar to our findings and proposed independent, counterdependent and dependent internal models of authority which correspond to attachment styles. Limitations of the study are in the specific research sample and its size. Further research applicating quantitative methods is advised.

Research background: Entering of generation Y into the job market causes many interesting insights for both researchers, who analyze the specifics of this generation, as well as practitioners of modern organizations' management. Despite some differences in the charac-teristics of generation Y, the authors involved in this issue agree that generation Y is focused on education and development with simultaneous desire to maintain a balance between work and personal life. More often than older generations, they are willing to use the various programs, offered by their company, supporting reconciliation of professional and personal life. Purpose of the article: The aim of the article is to present issues concerning the functioning of the representatives of generation Y in the labor market with particular emphasis on the issue of balancing professional work and personal life. Methods: The conducted research aimed to analyze the opinion of representatives of gener-ation Y about the expectations associated with their professional work with special emphasis on creating a balance between work and personal life. In order to obtain answers to the research questions, the methods of diagnostic survey and questionnaire technique were used. To complement the obtained data, the additional qualitative research unstructured interviews were conducted. The researches were conducted in Poland, at one of the technical universities in the Silesian voivodeship. Findings & Value added: Respondents have confirmed the hypothesis that for their genera-tion balance between work and personal life is very important. The collected respondents' opinions showed the image of flexible employment as a good way to reconcile work and other obligations, which gives the ability to have multiple sources of income. It is a good solution especially for young people and people entering the labor market. The results of the conducted interviews pointed to a number of factors which in the opinion of young workers are important values in life and are related to the maintaining work-life balance.

Entrepreneurship may be associated with independence and profi t, but it may also be a precarious type of employment. Self-employment is often a strategy for those groups of workers who face marginalisation and disadvantages on the labour market, such as mothers of young children or migrants. In this paper we use an intersectional approach and draw on the theory of precarity to analyse how Czech and Ukrainian entrepreneurs with small children (in the Czech Republic) describe and perceive precarity in self-employment. Our analysis shows that entrepreneurship is a form of precarious work, especially for mothers of young children. Their social position, which forms on the intersection of gender, caring commitments, and/or migration status, serves to constrain or allow certain career choices. While the main source of disadvantage for Czech entrepreneurs is the intersection of gender and caring commitments (e.g. in work-life balance), the social position of Ukrainian entrepreneurs (in the Czech Republic) is much more precarious because of their status as migrants (e.g. their low income from business is further reduced by the cost of private insurance, the paying of remittances, or the repayment of debts for migrating to the Czech Republic).

As different areas of life and an individual’s life roles undergo transformation and intermingle increasingly, the ways that people get married and start up families change as well. A dual-career marriage is a modern family model, within which both spouses realize, on the one hand, broadly defined professional careers under conditions of competitive job market and competitive forms of employment, often occupying managerial positions; and life careers on the other hand, those related to family, marital roles, housekeeping and earning the livelihood. As compared with traditional models and egalitarian partnerships, a dual-career marriage involves more sacrifices and threats, but can also provide many benefits. In the study it was attempted to make inquiries in that matter, rooted in our wish to examine this specific link between dual-career couples and a subjective sense of partners’ quality of life, particularly in the aspect of its meaning – as compared with that of spouses in traditional marriages and egalitarian partnerships. Then a more detailed purpose of this study was to verify whether satisfaction with one’s own achievements in partners of a dual-career marriage, both in their professional and extraprofessional life, together with the level of experienced stress are possible significant factors influencing the relation between role conflict and a reported level of sense of purpose in life. The study was conducted during 2013-2014 and involved examining a total of 150 couples in dual-career marriages (300 participants), i.e. relationships within which both partners realized their professional career in the competitive job market, oftentimes they occupied managerial posts and reconciled professional life with the role of a parent. All investigated participants in dualcareer relationships had higher education, their age varied from 28 to 40 years and each marriage had at least 1 child. The control group was composed of 160 egalitarian partnerships and 135 traditional marriages. In order to verify the research questions and hypotheses stated above, four diagnostic tools were used: Purpose in Life test, “Work-Life Balance” Questionnaire, Stress Level Questionnaire and Sense of Happiness Questionnaire. The analysis of empirical material presented that partners in dual-career relationships reported the highest level of experienced stress, fatigue, tension and role conflict, but also the highest levels of satisfaction with one’s achievements or the family’s financial situation – factors which can neutralize the negative impact of experienced stress and conflicts on the general sense of life meaning. Also presented that experiencing role conflicts is negatively correlated with a general sense of purpose in life and with satisfaction with one’s accomplishments, at the same time being positively correlated with experienced stress. It can be noticed, however, that in the calculated model a (high) level of satisfaction with one’s achievements acts as a specific buffer against the influence of experienced role conflict and stress.

Introduction and aim. COVID-19 intensity has affected both the psychology of the nurses and the balance established between their work and social lives. In this study, it was aimed to examine the work-life balance and psychological resilience levels of nurses. Material and methods. Four Hundred and seventy two nurses, working in various hospitals and internal units in Turkey, voluntarily participated in the study. Data was collected online using the Work-Life Balance Scale, Brief Psychological Resilience Scale, and the Personal Information Form. Results. The sub-dimensions of the work-life balance scale include allocation of time for yourself (β=1.892; p<0.001), life merely being based on work (β=-0.513; p<0.05) and work-life balance; affect the psychological resilience score (β=-0.364; p<0.05). Based on this, devoting time for yourself has a positive effect on psychological resilience, while others have a negative effect. The total score of the nurses on work-life balance is 51.51±7.22 and their psychological resilience score is 15.27±3.93. Conclusion. Psychological resilience is affected by educational status, marital status, having children, and working schedule; work-life balance is affected by educational status, marital status, having children, income levels, and working schedule; while work-life balance sub-dimensions are affected by education, marital status, having children, income levels, place of work and working schedule. Both work-life balance and its sub-dimensions affect the psychological resilience of nurses.

The application of the work-life balance conception has become increasingly popular in recent years. This conception draws not only from legal solutions, but from psychological sciences and those related to human resources management. In the field of labour law, the instruments used may be, inter alia, rights related to parenthood (maternity, paternity, parental and extended parental leave), the use of fixed-term contracts or part-time employment, the use of individual working time schedules, the use of task-based schedules, equivalent or intermittent working time, telework regulations, variable work start and end times. However, employment in professional sports is atypical. The very essence of providing sports work is different from the essence of performing both office and industrial work. It consists in the provision of a special type of work of a multiple nature aimed at maximising the performance of athletes, carried out for profit. The athlete’s ability to achieve success results from the effect of actions taken as part of the employment relationship with the club as well as from leisure activities. Such activities include preparing appropriate meals, keeping a balanced diet, refraining from an unhealthy lifestyle and from the use of unauthorised substances, not using drugs that could be considered doping, taking care of proper regeneration and rest, and refraining from betting on matches in the practiced sport discipline. Herein, firstly, the characteristics of sports work was presented and, secondly, the possibilities of using work-life balance tools in shaping everyday sports work were analysed. The paper analyses the phenomenon of blurring personal and professional lives among athletes. The main conclusion of the paper is the inability to effectively guarantee a work-life balance among athletes, and that athletes can effectively use legal tools of WLB only if they simultaneously perform services or work elsewhere. The paper uses a dogmatic and legal method (analysis of the literature on the subject, analysis of normative acts) and the results of research carried out by the author, i.e. a survey addressed at professional athletes

Family is as important in our work as in our lives. Unipolar preferences can lead to an unbalanced life. This study examines the effect of work-life balance on employee productivity and well-being, as post-positivist research seeks to explain. This research is divided into two main categories: analytical and descriptive, and this article aims to evaluate the effect of work-life balance on employee productivity. Other sources such as research materials are selected based on the needs of the study. The research shows that effective work-life balance strategies can improve worker health and productivity. Unlike unhappy employees who struggle to balance work, family, and personal life, happy employees are self-motivated.

The purpose of this article is to explore the doubts raised after the legislator’s adoption of a new labour law measure in the Act of 2 March 2020 on special solutions related to the prevention, counteracting and combating of COVID-19 – the order to perform work outside the permanent workplace. First, a detailed analysis of said order is presented, followed by an examination of practical problematic issues in applying the law. Selected normative acts and relevant literature are reviewed to this end. It is ultimately concluded that employers need to consider specific health and safety obligations and GDPR when ordering remote working. It is also highlighted that work-related accidents are a critical problem in the context of health and safety regulations and remote work. The issue of disrupting the work-life balance is discussed, too. The article also demonstrates that the introduction of the order to perform work outside the permanent workplace into the Labour Code is a matter of time.

Zwiększenie udziału kobiet na rynku pracy pozostaje pilną kwestią, z jaką zmierzyć się musi Europa w kontekście zjawiska starzenia się społeczeństwa, które jest postrzegane w kategoriach zagrożenia dla sytuacji społeczno-gospodarczej państw europejskich. Tymczasem w 2012 r. stopień partycypacji kobiet na rynku pracy był aż o 12,2% mniejszy od mężczyzn. Polska znalazła się w grupie państw o największej różnicy w udziale między kobietami a mężczyznami na rynku pracy. Jedną z przyczyn niższej aktywności zawodowej kobiet są trudności w łączeniu pracy zawodowej z obowiązkami rodzinnymi. Dla kobiet macierzyństwo oznacza długotrwałe bezrobocie, a nawet rezygnację z pracy zawodowej, w przypadku trudności z powrotem na rynek pracy. Prawo pracy może wpływać pozytywnie bądź negatywnie na sytuację kobiet na rynku pracy. W tym zakresie istotne znaczenie mają przepisy dotyczące czasu pracy. W oparciu o analizę obowiązujących regulacji Kodeksu pracy z zakresu czasu pracy podjęte rozważania koncentrują się na dostępnych sposobach zarządzania czasem pracy przez pracownikaw kontekście możliwości łączenia pracy zawodowej z realizacją obowiązków rodzinnych.

Increasing the share of women on the labour market is an urgent issue that Europe must face in the context of aging society, which is perceived as a threat for the future socio-economic situation of European countries. However, in 2012 women’s participation in the labour market of the European Union was even by 12.2% lower than that of men. Poland was among the few countries with the greatest difference in the share of sexes on the labour market. One reason for women’s lower professional activity is the difficulties in combining work with family responsibilities. For many women maternity means long-term unemployment, or even resignation from a professional career, in relation to difficulties with returning to the labour market.

Since the earliest age, each man plays various interrelated and coexisting roles in their family, social and professional life. Individual roles are realised simultaneously or sequentially and remain in relationship. Each role may complement, expand or disturb the course of a career in life. Undoubtedly, family/personal life and work are the key areas of human life. One cannot treat both these areas as independent of each other. There exists a continuous spillover between them – a natural, dynamic process developing over the entire course of human life. The effective integration of the spheres of work and family functioning is conditioned by many factors. On the basis of the literature, we can divide the determinants of the integration of these two roles into two categories: environmental, resulting, for instance, from the specific nature of the workplace or organization, the roles fulfilled, and the profession; individual, which can be associated with the properties of the individual, such as gender, age, education, children, or the status of the relationship, or they may result from the structure of the personality and the mental properties of the individual, such as motivation, values, level of commitment, mental health, physical health, etc. One of the crucial elements in the process of balancing work and family roles is the personality. The research on this issue indicates that among the dimensions of personality that have particular importance are neuroticism and extraversion, which significantly affect the direction and quality of the spillover between these two spheres of functioning. The aim of presented study was verify personality predictors of work-life balance among women. The survey involved 160 women with the various education, working professionally and possessing the least one child.
