Abstract
- The symposium aims to problematize the concept of work-family (WF) integration specific to the Indian cultural context. A sizable amount of scientific discourse points to the relevance of more culture-specific insights on the issue in order to alleviate concerns of the working population. While researchers in India have recently been pursuing this objective by adopting an emic approach, research on WF integration is still scant, needs careful evaluation and streamlining to devise solutions and to create more sustainable, culturally aligned, and relevant work practices. To this end, the symposium includes four India specific studies and approaches the subject from an individual perspective (eg., factors affecting employees' factual autonomy and role of resilience in dealing with work and family demands) as well as organizational policy (eg., empowering employees and leaders to set individual boundaries and the efficacy of telecommuting-the challenges and opportunities for employees and leaders). The studies discuss pertinent challenges in developing sustainable WF practices in India in order to instigate more debates, deliberations on the topic and propose pertinent future research directions and implications for employees and organizations. * Are you free!
