Work-Life Balance (WLB) is an important factor that the Human Resource Management of private higher education Institution (PHEI) should concern about in order to gain high Job Performance in theinstitution. If there are WLB practices implemented by the university, the Human Resource Department (HRD) must always get feedback from the employees to continuously improve the WLB policy. This will benefit not just the employees but the most important to the PHEI by having a good productivities and high job performance employees. The result shows that most of the employees in the university have good social support from their colleagues at work place, friends and their families. This support have given them inspiration and motivation in doing their job properly and finally they might achieved high job performance. Eventhough the result were positive about the social support the employees receives, the top management including the HRD need to revise their policy of WLBespecially other factors that can influenced the employees to optimized their efforts in doing their job.

The aim of the present study was to identify factors that might have a direct or buffering effect on the stress-burnout relationship. Ninety-four ( N = 94) faculty members of the University of Western Cape, completed instruments developed to measure participation in decision-making, social support, organizational commitment, role conflict and role ambiguity. The results of moderated multiple regression analyses indicated a buffering effect for social support on the stress-emotional exhaustion relationship, a direct effect for participation in decision-making on personal accomplishment as well as a stress-buffering and direct effect for organizational commitment on depersonalization. The results appear to indicate that different factors play a role in each of the components of burnout and that interventions aimed at addressing the problem of burnout need to take this fact into account.

Conflict Tactics

Dyadic quality is described as the quality of the relationship between two partners which is dependent on the level of dyadic cohesion, dyadic consensus, dyadic satisfaction and dyadic adjustment, as well as the way in which the couple deals with conflict. These aspects were measured using the Conflict Tactics Scale and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale. Social support was measured using the Inventory of Socially Supportive Behaviors (ISSB) and the Social Support Questionnaire (SSQ). The purpose of the study was to determine whether there is any relationship between dyadic quality and dimensions of social support. Respondents were 163 undergraduate students at the University of Western Cape, South Africa. Multiple regression analyses indicated that a number of the indices of dyadic quality were significant predictors of the dimensions of social support. The result suggests that the quality of dyadic relationships impacts on the perceived availability and satisfaction with support. Research aimed at exploring and understanding the health-sustaining and stress-reducing functions of social support needs to focus on the potential negative impact of dyadic conflict and poor dyadic adjustment on the experience of social support.

The purpose of the study was to determine if preferences of athletes for training and instruction (task-oriented) behavior and social support (relationship-oriented) behavior would vary with athletic maturity (operationalized in terms of level of competition). Basketball players from high school midget (n = 67), junior (n = 63), and senior (n = 63) divisions and university (n = 69) completed the “preferred leader behavior” version of the Leadership Scale for Sports. Trend analyses revealed the presence of a quadratic trend in preference for training and instruction which progressively decreased from high school midget, through junior to senior levels and increased at the university level; however, the direction of this trend was opposite to that predicted. A linear trend was obtained for social support which progressively increased from the high school midget level to the university level but, again, it was in a direction opposite than that predicted. It was noted that future research should incorporate both a wide range of competition levels and groups with markedly different levels of success in order to determine the interrelationship between leadership preference and athletic maturity. It was also noted, however, that sport as a social system may not afford athletes an opportunity to achieve athletic maturity.

Latent Variable Methods

This study represents a factor analytic investigation of the Inventory of Socially Supportive Behaviors (ISSB) and the Social Support Questionnaire (SSQ) when used with South African students. Respondents ( N = 242) were undergraduate students at the University of the Western Cape. The obtained internal-consistency estimates of reliability for the ISSB and the SSQ (alphas above 0,90) compared favourably with previously reported reliabilities for these scales. Exploratory factor analyses of the ISSB yielded three factors similar to previously reported factor structures of the scale, while in the case of the SSQ it appears as if one factor is sufficient to represent the factorial structure of the scale. Confirmatory factor analyses, using latent variable methods confirmed the distinctiveness of the instruments and indicated that two interrelated factors accounted for the variation in the subscales of the ISSB and the SSQ.
