Introduction to Special Topic Forum: Advancing and Expanding Work-Life Theory from Multiple Perspectives
该专题论坛旨在通过六篇论文从多元理论视角发展工作-生活理论，为理解性别角色、家庭与工作变迁提供新框架，对研究者、员工、管理者及政策制定者均有参考价值。
Research on the work-life interface has exploded over the past five decades because of trends in the nature of gender roles, families, work, and careers. However, work-life theory has not kept up with the explosion in research. The purpose of this special topic forum is to offer a corrective by developing new theory to make sense of the research to date and to guide future research. The six articles in this forum make substantial contributions to work-life theory individually and collectively. They provide useful guidance for future work-life theory and research from multiple theoretical perspectives that vary in their level of analysis and in their focus on decision making, diversity, and temporal dynamics. In addition, these six articles offer innovative implications for practice by employees, couples, supervisors, organizations, communities, and societies.
