About the editors
Janet Barnes-Farrell is Professor of Psychological Sciences and Director of the Industrial Psychology Applications Center at the University of Connecticut. Dr. Barnes-Farrell’s primary fields of expertise include aging and work, the interface between work and other life domains, and the measurement of work performance and work attitudes; her research on these topics has appeared in numerous edited volumes and professional journals. Her current research centers on psychosocial aspects of work and aging and on the process and consequences of work-life balance for workers and organizations, with special emphasis on the work-life concerns of older workers.
Philip Bohle is Professor of Work and Health at The University of Sydney. His research focuses primarily on the health effects of work organisation and workplace psychosocial factors. At present, his major research projects concern working hours, work-life conflict and health; the impact of work-related pressure, disorganisation and regulatory failure on health and safety; the health and safety of older workers; the effects of precarious work on health and wellbeing; and the impact of workplace deaths on the victims' families.
