The increasing numbers of women in the labour market and the rise in dual-career couples have prompted many organizations to introduce programmes to help their employees balance their work and personal lives. Positive employee perceptions of such initiatives have tended to be assumed rather than demonstrated. This study examines how a proposal for a worklife balance programme is actually viewed by employees. Drawing on survey data from 300 employees in a shopping centre in France, the study finds evidence of a range of attitudes. These attitudes are influenced not only by existing and potential constraints, but also by the possibility of the employees benefiting from child care as well as their views concerning the role of the organization. Attitudes towards the provision of child care are particularly positive when they seek to attenuate difficulties of work organization and are consistent with a flexible approach that takes employees' personal constraints into account.References

This study analyses urban industrial mission (UIM) as a non-traditional actor in Korean employment relations from the early 1960s to the 2000s. It shows how one church-based organization in Seoul, Yong Dong Po (YDP) - UIM, was able to impact other employment actors (the state and employers) and struggle against the suppression of labour rights and worker voice, particularly in the period upto 1987. As the trend towards greater democracy from the late 1980s gathered momentum, the influence of YDP-UIM in Korean industrial relations began to decline. The case study suggests that in the absence of alliances or coalitions with established actors, new and non-traditional actors which pursue orthodox economic goals will be those most likely to endure and feature significantly in a country's industrial relations system.References
