| dc.description.abstract | Poor work-family is balance is one reason that faculty exit their careers in academia. A possible remedy to this issue can be found in the work design literature. Faculty can take active roles in shaping their employment arrangements to meet their needs by negotiating time allocation idiosyncratic deals (i-deals). Time allocation i-deals are personalized work arrangements negotiated between a faculty member and their chair in which they negotiate time allocated across research, teaching, and service demands. Using three waves of archival data collected from faculty in the United States, the present study used needs-supplies (N-S) fit theory to explore whether poor work-family balance prompts faculty to negotiate a time allocation i-deal, and if greater work-family balance is an outcome of these arrangements. Two individual differences, role centrality and decision authority, were also tested as moderators in the relationship between work-family balance and subsequent i-deal use. Altogether, the within-person hypothesized relationships were not significant. However, at the between-person level, time allocation i-deals were positively associated with work-family balance. These findings suggest that faculty who have greater time allocation customization enjoy greater work-family balance, but work-family balance is not maintained over time by continually altering levels of time allocation customization via i-deals. | |
