Bridging the Gap Between the Provision and Utilisation of Work-life Policies

澳大利亚组织提供的工作-生活政策不足以保证广泛使用。对于许多员工来说，利用不足可能会导致角色冲突和次优的工作与生活平衡。该项目的目标是：(I)确定政策使用的障碍和促进因素；(Ii)实施多层次的战略干预；以及(Iii)制定一个全面的最佳实践方案，解决利用不足的问题。这项研究的意义在于，它采用准实验设计，开发和评估实施策略，这将导致一个计划，允许员工和组织利用工作-生活政策，在最大限度地减少负面影响的情况下获得最大利益。

The provision of work-life policies in Australian organisations is not enough to guarantee widespread utilisation. Under-utilisation may lead to role conflict and sub-optimal work-life balance for many employees. The aims of the project are to: (i) identify the barriers and enablers of policy usage; (ii) implement a multi-level strategic intervention; and (iii) develop a comprehensive, best-practice program which addresses under-utilisation. The significance of the research is its development and evaluation of implementation strategies, using a quasi-experimental design, which will result in a program allowing employees and organisations to utlilise work-life policies for maximum benefit with minimal negative consequences.
