Foreword
Although highly topical, research on the work-life integration of professionals has previously not been published in a comprehensive volume. The aim of our book project was therefore to provide a platform for distinguished researchers from across the world to share experiences and research findings and to generate new knowledge on the work-life integration of professionals. The result is a compendium of cuttingedge research that is relevant and accessible to both academics and practitioners.
