Biographical note
Edited by Luo Lu, Distinguished Professor, Department of Business Administration, National Taiwan University, Taiwan and Cary Cooper, Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, UK<i>‘With the rapid growth of Asian economies and growing work, family and personal life demands, this book addresses a critical topic. The well-being of societies, families and workers is of increasing social and economic importance. The book will be a valuable addition for anyone who wants to understand the similarities and differences in how work-life dynamics are unfolding across Asia.’</i>

<i>‘Through its focus on work-life balance in Asian societies this much needed collection, edited by Luo Lu and Cary L. Cooper, addresses a significant omission in the field. Since the 1980s, research on the balance between employment and family commitments has grown massively. Yet most studies are based on Euro-American samples. The </i>Handbook of Research on Work-Life Balance in Asia <i>shifts this emphasis on Europe and the USA, mapping how work–life balance is negotiated within Asian societies such as China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Vietnam. It offers state-of-the-art views on how work-life balance in Asia is experienced from a range of angles: individual, organizational and societal. In so doing, it contributes important new perspectives to the work-life balance field.’</i>
