Personal and Professional Balance among Senior StudentAffairs Officers:Gender Differences in Approaches andExpectations\n\nClaudia Beeny,Victoria L.Guthrie,Gail S.Rhodes,Patricia S.Terrell*  \nThis study examined the approaches and expectations about personal and professionalbalance among senior student affairs officers.Demographic variables were also examinedto determine how they affected the relationships between the main variables.  \nRapid and relentless organizational and technological changes in the late20th-century workplace,coupled with major sociological changes,such asthe entry of more women into the work force,the rise in single-parenthouseholds,and the assumption of more child-rearing duties by men,areenough to explain why people find it increasingly hard to appropriatelybalance the competing demands of the wotkplace and home.Professionalsare expected to spend long hours away from home,leaving them with lesstime and energy to care for family and friends,let alone themselves.It islittle wonder that despite both increased affluence and their intelligence,education,skill,and commitment,many professionals feel unfulfilled andhelpless,beset by stress,frustration,and guilt.(Markel,2000,p.36)  \nAlthough an extensive literature exists on balancing personal and professionaldemands,little has been written nor has significant research been conducted onthis issue from the perspective of the student affairs profession.However,theissue of balance is a recurring theme at conference programs and workshopsfocusing on the role of the senior student affairs officer (SSAO)and is afrequent topic of informal discussion among SSAOs.As Reisser(2002)noted,“Our world presents us with more challenges,opportunities,and demandsthan we can handle,even with our emerging skill at multitasking”(p.49).Finding time for family and/or friends,personal renewal,wellness,and otherpriorities while juggling the demands of a job that requires a 24/7 commitmentis more of a goal than an achievement.Some SSAOs have responded byallowing their professional lives to dominate,while others have allowed theirpersonal lives to take center stage;still others have simply given up.However,  \nBalance among Senior Student Affairs Officers  \nfew feel that personal fulfillment will be achieved by focusing solely on theirprofessional role.Carpenter(2003)emphasized,  \nProfessional identity is important,even critical,but it is only one part oflife.Professions are more than jobs,but they are no substitute for family,for friends,for community,for health,and spiritual concerns.Balance isrequired to be a good person and a better person will be a more valuableprofessional.(pp.584-585)  \nAlthough balance is often portrayed as an either/or proposition,personal andprofessional lives are interdependent,according to Toma and Grady(2002).Friedman and Greenhaus further asserted that\"success in one area enhancesthe other,and the reverse is true as well”(as cited in Toma &Grady,p.99).The need to have an integrated view of life and a life congruent with one'svalues is further stressed by Quinn,O'Neill,and Debebe (as cited in Toma &Grady).Ultimately,Toma and Grady concluded,the issue of balance boilsdown to “making choices based on values”(p.98.)These ideas are synthesizedin Kofodimos'(1993)definition of balance—“finding the allocation of timeand energy that fits your values and needs,making conscious choices abouthow to structure your life,and integrating inner needs and outer demands”(p.  \n8).  \nIn Reisser(2002),several current and former SSAOs discussed how they haveapproached the issue of balancing personal and professional demands.Somecommon strategies emerge among those interviewed,including the need for (a)focusing on the big picture and the long term rather than the immediate crisisor the day-to-day ups and downs of the institution;(b)knowing thyself andliving a life congruent with values;(c)focusing on family first,(d)taking timefor mental,physical,and spiritual wellness;and (e)seeking","cbCaipqbtwSrhXAe","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipqbtwSrhXAe","pdf",3241624,15,"English","#
