Employee assistance professionals are expected to be proficient at intervening in organizations and creating meaningful behavioral change in interpersonal functioning. Because of their training in family systems theories and concepts, marriage and family therapists (MFTs) are well suited to serve organizations as "systems consultants." Unfortunately, the authors were unable to identify any family systems-based models for organizational intervention that have been empirically tested and supported. In this article, the authors present a family systems-based model of intervention that they developed while working in an employee assistance program (EAP). They also present research that was used to refine the model and to provide initial support for its effectiveness. 相似文献

Survey nonresponse and the distribution of income 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The paper examines the distributional implications of selective compliance in sample surveys, whereby households with different
incomes are not equally likely to participate. Poverty and inequality measurement implications are discussed for monotonically
decreasing and inverted-U compliance-income relationships. We demonstrate that the latent income effect on the probability
of compliance can be estimated from information on response rates across geographic areas. On implementing the method on the
Current Population Survey for the U.S. we find that the compliance probability falls monotonically as income rises. Correcting
for nonresponse appreciably increases mean income and inequality, but has only a small impact on poverty incidence up to poverty
lines common in the U.S.

Students who are homeless constitute a unique subset within today's school population; those who also have disabilities face even greater challenges. This article highlights the uniaue needs of students with disabilities who are homeless, legislative mandates for serving these students (the McKinney Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act), and promising practices for overcoming educational and institutional obstacles to service delivery. Suggestions will focus on developing collaborative relationships at multiple levels, creating responsive systems through staff development and procedural revisions, and providing students with the social and instructional support they need to be successful. 相似文献

This paper examines interactions between older adults living in rural areas of Thailand and Cambodia and their adult children. Thai data come from the Survey of the Welfare of the Elderly (N= 3,202 older adults and 17,517 adult children). Cambodia data are from the Survey of the Elderly in Cambodia (N= 777 older adults and 3,751 adult children). Results indicate that older adults in rural areas are not being abandoned, and supportive expressions such as visits and provision of material goods depend on living proximity, characteristics that relate to the needs and dependency of the older adult, and the life circumstances of adult children. These findings support an extension of an altruistic perspective that incorporates notions of vulnerability of older adults. 相似文献

Scientific instruments have short product lifecycles and a lengthening of the time between design and application has serious financial implications. This paper reports on research aimed at obtaining a greater understanding of the factors which influence this interface. Interviews were conducted at 32 companies in two countries, the United Kingdom (UK) and the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). The study showed that there are statistically significant differences between the two countries and that in the FRG there are also differences between projects led by people with different qualifications and background experience. These differences are analysed and discussed and factors identified which influence productivity and performance in the scientific instrument industry. 相似文献

In this article, we explain the evolution of divorce rates in England and Wales over the post-war period. Following the approach of the predominantly North American literature in this area, we focus on the liberalization of divorce law and socioeconomic factors as determinants of the divorce rate. In line with the development of the literature, we find that the introduction of liberalized, no-fault divorce law had a significant effect on the divorce rate in England and Wales. The finding that the law affects the divorce rate is consistent with the view that marriage is characterized by indivisibilities that inhibit Coasian bargaining. 相似文献

This article investigates the effect of family life course transitions on labor allocation strategies in rural Chinese households.
We highlight three types of economic activity that involve reallocation of household labor oriented toward a more diversified,
nonfarm rural economy: involvement in wage employment, household entrepreneurship, and/or multiple activities that span economic
sectors. With the use of data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS 1997, 2000, and 2004), our longitudinal analyses
of rural household economic activity point to the significance of household demography, life course transitions, and local
economic structures as factors facilitating household labor reallocation. First, as expected, a relatively youthful household
structure is conducive to innovative economic behavior. Second, household entrances and exits are significant, but their impacts
are not equal. Life events such as births, deaths, marriage, or leaving home for school or employment affect household economy
in distinctive ways. Finally, the reallocations of household labor undertaken by households are shaped by local economic structures:
in particular, the extent of village-level entrepreneurial activity, off-farm employment, and out-migration. 相似文献

We examine the utilization of remittances for expenditures associated with development, specifically children's education. We use household-level data from the Nepal Living Standards Survey (NLSS II, 2003–04) to separate remittance effects from general household income effects to demonstrate the migration–development relationship reflected in child schooling investment. We find that family-household remittances are spent on education of children, but the expenditures are disproportionately for boys' schooling. Only when girls are members of higher-income households do greater schooling expenditures go to them. This gender-discriminating pattern at the household level contrasts with the call for universal and gender-equal education. 相似文献
