Managers as fathers: Hope on the homefront
访谈300位男性管理者,发现他们将办公室管理风格不恰当地应用于家庭,工作情绪溢出影响家庭生活,父亲与孩子相处时目标不同,角色转换困难,并总结了改进策略。
Abstract Interviews with 300 male managers on their parenting style revealed obvious patterns. People's understanding of how much and in what intricate ways the reward systems of work and family affect one another is beginning to increase. The themes examined are (1) the inappropriate application of office managerial style, with its explicit tasks, to the implicit needs of family and friends, (2) the emotional spillover of work life into home life, (3) the different, often unspoken, agendas that fathers and children have when they do spend time together, and (4) the difficulty of switching roles from manager at work to father at home. The article concludes with strategies for change that were gleaned from the managers who were interviewed. © 1993 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
