Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Well-Being and Quality of Life Research ((BRIEFSWELLBEING)) Work intensity has become an increasingly vital concept in understanding current changes in the employment sector, and why these changes have detrimental implications for the well-being of employees and their families. Objective measures, such as allocation or length of work hours, do not necessarily catch the tempo of work during the time spent at work. Nor are the hours an appropriate indicator of the level of mental effort and strain in and even outside of (official) work (hours). This chapter discusses the various change processes in the economy and work life that have led to the intensification of work. The chapter’s aim is also to describe how these change processes pose varying challenges for women and men in different socio-economic positions.

Industrial Relations, 42, 189–220. In this chapter, we introduce causes and consequences of work intensification while also highlighting resources to help employees manage the intensification of work. In doing so, we argue that global socio-economic changes such as technological advancement , outsourcing and downsizing are important drivers of work intensification . Moreover, we trace the development of work intensity over the last three decades. Relying on analyses of international datasets and other findings, we discuss that even if the trend toward work intensification is far from universal, work intensification is a critical issue for employees in modern Western... This is even more the case as work intensification impairs employee well-being , reduces job satisfaction and is associated with more work-family conflict .

Cognitive appraisal processes mediate the negative effects of work intensification on various outcomes. Finally, we introduce resources stemming from different sources such as the person, the organization and the social environment that help workers cope with work intensification. My dear, here we must run as fast as we can, just to stay in place. And if you want to go anywhere you must run twice as fast as that!

Process intensification is a broad technology category with the objective to reduce size and/or improve efficiency of chemical or biotechnology processes. This objective can be achieved in many ways, including shrinking equipment size, combining unit operations, and changing the method of operation (e.g., energy sources, process control, reaction routes, solvents, etc.). Many process intensification approaches rely on heat transfer equipment, either as a unit operation with reduced size (e.g., compact heat exchanger) or as an integrated component of a multifunctional unit operation (e.g., microreactors and... In this chapter, applications of heat transfer equipment in process intensification are surveyed, with the notable exception that compact heat exchangers are explicitly addressed in Chap. 36, “Compact Heat Exchangers.” Specifically, this chapter is an overview of process-intensified heat transfer equipment, including microchannel and other process-intensified heat exchangers, compact reactors, and heat-integrated separations. The discussion on applications is followed by a commercial outlook for heat transfer equipment in process-intensified systems.
