INTRODUCCION
Creciente interés por el tema trabajo-vida: por indicadores de salud y costos laborales que está llevando a varios países a construir normatividades (Australia-Inglaterra-Canadá, etc.) y promover medidas de prevención personal e institucionales.

El proceso histórico de la modernidad: nuevas condiciones sociales y culturales para la relación entre T-F.
Crisis de la matriz unificadora de las sociedades premodernas: religión e identidad comunitaria fuerte.
VISION HISTORICA DEL LA RELACION TRABAJO-VIDA

La modernidad extrae del contexto y tradición familiar y comunitario, el trabajo, genera mecanismos y filtros para la separación.
El paradigma de desarrollo reduccionista-economicista agudiza la tensión entre trabajo-vida generando un alto costo.

TEORÍAS DEL WORK-LIFE BALANCE
Spillover theory : emotions&behaviours in one sphere would carry over to the other (employees having a bad day at work are more likely to be in bad mood when they return home)
ways in which paid work can positively or negatively spill over into family life and the ways in which family life can positively or negatively spillover into paid work life.

Figure 1: Underlying framework for Work, Family and Parenting study Brunton, 2006

Figure 31: Positive spillover – home to work Brunton, 2006

Compensation theory : an inverse relationship exists between work&family such that people make differing investments in each in an attempt to make up for what one is missing in the other :
individuals with unsatisfying family lives, will try to pursue work activities that bring satisfaction, and the reverse.

Hakim (2002) proposes that ‘ preference theory’ can explain and predict women’s choices between paid work and family work five historical changes which have been collectively important in creating a new scenario in which women in rich modern societies have genuine choices.
These historical changes are as follows:
the contraceptive revolution
the equal opportunities revolution
the expansion of white-collar occupations
the creation of jobs for secondary earners
the increasing importance of attitudes, values and personal preferences in the lifestyle choices of prosperous, liberal modern societies.

“ women choose three different lifestyles: home-centred,
work-centred or
adaptive.
These divergent lifestyle preferences are found at all levels of education, and in all social classes” (Hakim 2003).

Asked to indicate a preference for the one they would ideally choose for themselves:
Both partners have jobs. Jobs are equally demanding. Housework and childcare responsibilities are shared equally.
Both partners have jobs. One partner has a more demanding job and the other partner does a larger share of the housework/ childcare responsibilities.
One partner has a job and the other partner mainly does the housework/ childcare responsibilities.

BORDER THEORY: people are
proactive and not reactive, they
moved back and forth between
their work and family lives,
shaping each, negotiating and
comunicating.
Questions:
How do individuals segment or
integrate work and home?
What determines whether a
person’s degree of separation or
integration leads to balance?
(Campbell 2000)
Differences Work&family: times and spaces,and ends: Work Family Provides income and gives a sense of accomplishment Create a supportive culture of certain behaviours and ways of thinking (control emotions) Responsible/capable Close relationships & personal hapiness Proper to express emotions Loving, giving

“… the primary connection between work and family
systems is not emotional, but human. People are border-
crossers who make daily transitions between two worlds
– the world of work and the world of family. People
shape these worlds, mold the borders between them,
and determine the border-crosser’s relationship to that
world and its members. Though people shape their
environments, they are, in turn, shaped by them. It is
this very contradiction of determining and being
determined by our work and home environments that
makes work/family balance one of the most challenging
concepts in the study of work and the study of families”
(p.748)

Situational-simultaneous APPROACH (Sime)
Balance: what kinds of situations does the person
lives simulatenously between the work and family that
can affect in his balance?
The people live different types of critical situations
simulatenosly and should respond to them.
The critical situations can be stable or transitionals.
The critical situations involve emotions, thinking,
actions…

The people respond critical situations in their work and family depending on the degree of demanding . When in both domains the degree is in the top increase the conflict.
The people respond critical situations in their work and family depending on the level of proximity with the people envolve in the critical situation.
When in both domains the people involve is close and the degree of demanding is high increase the conflict

Otras limitaciones de las teorías del work&life balance
Construidas sobre la base del trabajo pagado/ del empleo fijo-formal
Construidas desde la base de una familia-tipo urbano
Construidas desde la noción que el trabajo está allá afuera de la casa (hay familias-empresa que trabajan dentro)
Desde el punto de vista escolar el alumno que no trabaja también construye una relación entre escuela-familia; y el que trabaja entre escuela-trabajo-familia
