However, despite the increased interest globally, there has been an under-representation of academic work on work-life balance across the African continent. So, this book serves as a collection of cases from various contexts across Africa and an exploration of the challenges and how best to manage human resources in this ‘Mother Continent’ with phenomenal potential.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe book’s contributions draw on various types of research (conceptual, theoretical and empirical) and incorporate contextual issues such as technology, politics, culture, and economics to supplement the readers’ insights into the varying work-life balance experiences in African countries. By highlighting theoretical underpinnings and emphasising the practical relevance of issues related to managing work and non-work commitments, this book will offer an insightful guide for students and scholars interested in Business Management, Human Resource Management, Sociology of Work, and Industrial and Organisational Psychology in developing economies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 1:   An Introduction: The Nature and Determinants of Work-Life Balance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e                     Hakeem Adeniyi Ajonbadi, Chima Mordi and Olatunji David Adekoya\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 2:   Reimagining Work-Life Balance from Africa: Insights for Renewed Human Resource Management\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e                     Ameeta Jaga and Bongekile P.
