(1) EMOTIONALLABORAND EMOTIONALDISSONANCE
Emotional Laboris a situation in which the employee expresses organizationally
desired emotions during inter-personal transactions at work & Emotional
Dissonancerefers to the inconsistencies between the emotions people feel and the
emotions they project (Organizational behaviorRobbins, Judge & Vohra)
Emotional labor creates problems for employees since they areforced to work with and feign friendliness even with people they
dont like.
This creates bottled-up feeling of frustration, anger &resentment and can eventually lead to emotional exhaustion andburnout (The relationship of emotional exhaustion to work attitudes, job performance, andorganizational citizenship behaviors By: Cropanzano, Russell, Rupp, Deborah E., Byrne, Zinta S., Journal
of Applied Psychology, 0021-9010, 2003, Vol. 88, Issue 1)

reward emotional labor equitably

(2) WORKPLACESTRESSANDTHEINDIVIDUAL
Stressis a dynamic condition in which an individual is confronted with an
opportunity, demand or resource related to what the individual desires and for
which the outcome is perceived to be both uncertain and important
(Organizational behaviorRobbins, Judge & Sanghi)
Stress is not necessarily bad in itself. It has positive value
(especially Challenge stressors) but it does have its negatives
as well.
Research tells us that Hindrance stressors are more harmfulthan Challenge stressors (Challenge and Hindrance Stress: Relationships With
Exhaustion, Motivation to Learn, and Learning Performance. By: LePine, Jeffrey A., LePine, Marcie A.,
Jackson, Christine L., Journal of Applied Psychology, 0021-9010, 2004, Vol. 89, Issue 5)

Stress shows itself in different waysPhysiological,
Psychological & Behavioral and ultimately affects the quality of
life of the individual
Research has found out that stress could bring about a change
in the metabolism, increased heart and breathing rates,
increase blood pressure, bring on headaches and induce heart
attacks. (Workplace stress and Indicators of Coronary disease risk: Steffy, Brian D.; Jones, JohnW.. Academy of Management Journal, Sep88, Vol. 31 Issue 3, p686-698)

(3) PROBLEMSOFWORK-LIFEBALANCE
Although work can complement and, indeed, improve familylife, in recent decades it has largely competed with the family,
and won
Organizations are impacting work-life balance and theirnegative impact can be seen in families with increased divorce
rates & behavioral problems in children due to lack ofadequate parental attention. (When Work Becomes Home and Home BecomesWork. Hochschild, Arlie Russell. California Management Review, Summer97, Vol. 39 Issue 4)

(3) PROBLEMSOFWORK-LIFEBALANCE(Continued)
Time bind is a concept introduced by sociologist Arlie RussellHochschild in 1997, which refers to the blurring distinctionbetween work and home social environments. (When Work Becomes
Home and Home Becomes Work. Hochschild, Arlie Russell. California Management Review, Summer97,
Vol. 39 Issue 4)
Hochschild found in her research that although most working
parents, particularly all mothers, said "family comes first," few of
them considered adjusting their long hours, even when their
workplaces offered flextime, paternity leave, telework or other"family friendly" policies.

Her conclusion is that the roles of home and work had reversed:
work has become more attractive, offering a sense of belonging,
while home had grown more stressful, becoming a dreaded place
with too many demands.
Parents are becoming supervisors with stopwatches, monitoring
meals and bedtimes and putting real effort into eliminating
"wasted" time.
