Work. Personal Life. Between Harmony and Disintegration

WORK – PERSONAL LIFE. BETWEEN HARMONY AND DISINTEGRATION is a comprehensive monograph that explores the complex relationship between two fundamental domains of adult life: professional work and personal life. This work delves into the intricacies of balancing different social roles, a topic of ever-growing interest among theorists, researchers, and practitioners alike. The book addresses the interplay between professional and family roles, analyzing these dynamics through the lens of conflict and facilitation in accordance with the latest scholarly trends.
