Tuning in to the rhythm: The role of coping in strategic management of work-life conflicts in the public relations profession.

Highlights: [•] A national survey of PRSA members is conducted to quantify work-life conflict and explore the role of coping in work-life conflict management. [•] Work-life conflicts are found to be derived from work-driven, life-driven, and behavior-driven stressors. [•] Active practitioners have strong preferences in using more proactive conflict coping strategies, as opposed to more passive strategies. [•] Immediate supervisor support and work-life culture are found to be important in understanding how practitioners cope with work-life conflict. [•] Coping strategies are found to be influenced significantly by demographic characteristics as gender and education level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
