✦ Synopsis

Abstract

As organizations continue to emphasize information technology (IT) to help them compete, IT professionals are being asked to overcome a growing list of challenges. This unrelenting emphasis on IT initiatives often results in longer working hours and around‐the‐clock support, placing IT workers at risk of suffering from work‐life conflict. Human resource managers must skillfully manage this issue, with a particular focus on mitigating the consequences associated with work‐life conflict. This article provides an analysis of the antecedents to work‐life conflict in the IT profession, as well as solutions that organizations may implement to increase the work‐life balance of IT professionals. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
