  • Work-Family Comes to the World of Sports
    Journal of Diversity Management – First Quarter 2008 Volume 3, Number 1 Work-Family And Sports: When Even Millionaire Athletes Need Employer Help To Balance Work And Family Scott J. Behson, (Email: [email protected]), Fairleigh Dickinson University ABSTRACT Three cases in which professional athletes required workplace accommodation to balance work and family are presented, including analysis of each case based on the current work-family literature. INTRODUCTION ight years ago, I wrote an article that appeared in April 1999 issue of The Industrial/ Organizational Psychologist, 36 (4), 51-56. It examined how three major sports figures found a way to balance their E work and family commitments with the help of their employers through informal arrangements. The present article provides an update of each of these cases, and applies recent research findings as a lens for interpreting them. Researching these events has led me to the realization that even millionaire athletes struggle with work and family issues, and that they and their employers make minor, and sometimes major, accommodations in order to balance both work and family. If these people, with all of their financial resources, need help, what does this imply for employees with more rigid jobs and less financial resources? LITERATURE REVIEW The drastic economic and societal changes that have taken place over the past few decades have made conflict between work and family roles a major source of stress for many employees. In keeping with its standing as a pressing social issue, the study of work-family conflict has gathered great momentum in the past two decades.

The chorus of amens that I received from readers was one of the year's largest outpourings, exceeded only in volume by the precolumn mail from viewers who felt Who's Now represented the final step in the devolution of "SportsCenter" from must-see to can't-watch TV. Six months have passed, and I recently noticed something I am hesitant to write about for fear of jinxing it. "SportsCenter" has changed. While on vacation last month, I recorded 10 day's worth of 9 a.m. "SportsCenters," beginning Feb. 15, so I could catch up on the sports news upon my return. I approached the task of review reluctantly, regarding it as punishment for taking time off. Once I plunged in, though, I was amazed to find myself enjoying hour after hour of "SportsCenter." They were not crisp, clean half-hours, but far more often than not, they were crisp, clean hours dominated by highlights and news, with remarkably few gimmicks, sponsored segments, cross-promotions or padding of any kind.
