Work Affecting Home Life

This article directly relates to the challenges of separating work and home. A Survey conducted by this organization concluded a few main topics.
• “More than 40% of employees are neglecting other aspects of their life because of work, which may increase their vulnerability to mental health problems”
These aspects are not directly outlined in this article, so the emphasis shall be place on the metal health in general. We can infer that the other aspects of life they are referring to could be children, significant other, family, and friends. These statistics cannot be used on a broad scale as the survey numbers were not specifically defined. Out of the control group 40 percent is substantial, and could be looked at by other organizations for further research.
• “Nearly two thirds of employees have experienced a negative effect on their personal life, including lack of personal development, physical and mental health problems, and poor relationships (divorces) and poor home …show more content…
We need to somehow figure out how to separate work and home life for the children. This article should drive home (no pun intended) the point that work does affect your personal life tremendously, and it is our job to separate the two if at all possible. If two thirds of the people in the UK are affected in a negative light by their jobs, how many of us are here in America?
Hypothesis
Our work whether we like it or not directly affects home life in more ways than one.
Research Design
I really like Ellen Galinsky’s way of gathering data. I believe that gathering information through an interview process is more precise. Who really likes taking a survey? Through and interview process emotion, and sympathy are both factors that can be factored in. I believe I would start with families, more specifically families with blue collar parents. I am no discrediting the suit and tie. I come from a blue collar family so I know how hard it can be. I don’t think a phone survey, or a written piece of paper will give the results that a face to face interview can.
Work and home relationships are a common problem in today’s society. I truly believe that if something is not done soon we may be on a path to destruction
