Oh, how things have changed since the last
edition of Resource Management for Individuals
and Families. The latest census reveals that
Americans are within mere percentage points of
being a majority single nation. Only 51 percent of
adults today are married. Twenty-eight percent of
all households have just one person—the highest
level in U.S. history.
The economy worldwide continues to strug-
gle. Everywhere, families make sacrifices and
postpone expenses. More than ever before, people
want to know what actions to take and what goals
to pursue. The word “sustainability” has taken on
new meaning in people’s lives.
This fifth edition continues to pay close atten-
tion to meeting the standards and criteria for the
Certified Family Life Educator (CFLE) designation
of the National Council on Family Relations (NCFR).
My thanks are extended to NCFR for their recog-
nition of how important it is to know and apply
management principles. In this edition, there are
many more cases, photos, charts, solo and family
examples, and critical thinking exercises designed
to engage students in their search for insightful
solutions.
I wrote this edition of Resource Management
for Individuals and Families to capture the nuances
of managing today. The study of resource man-
agement is relevant to an individual’s everyday life
and provides insight into how others behave.
When visiting with instructors and students in
Europe, Australia, Asia, Africa, Central and South
America, the United States, the Caribbean, and
Canada, it became clear that making informed
choices is a universal concern. Stress, fatigue, and
financial and time management problems have no
national boundaries.
Making choices—those made yesterday
and those to be made today and tomorrow—and
how those choices affect lives is a central theme
in the book. People can improve. This edition has
much more on the steps needed to achieve goals.
Happiness, social networks, and well-being are
explored in new ways.
Thanks are extended to all who took the
time to tell me how they are using the book from
Australia to Singapore. The latest census data and
world population statistics are included in this
edition along with the newest technologies impact-
ing households. An updated and extended Human
Development Index is included in the last chapter.
Individuals continue to search for the best
ways to balance work and personal life. In recogni-
tion of this, more coverage is devoted to how every-
one is responding to change in the world of work
as well as on the home front. You will find theories
and models such as value chains, Conservation
of Resources Theory, the Resource-Advantage
Theory, and the GO model in this edition. The GO
model is a goal-oriented problem-solving model.
In response to requests by instructors, the
finances chapter is extended to include more on
managing debt and on the value of diversification.
The stress and fatigue chapter has been expanded
with more on the importance of sleep and how
to improve its quality. Researchers are finding
more evidence of how sleep impacts our ability
to reason and function effectively. The chapter
on managing human resources is given the new
title of “Managing Human Needs” to better reflect
the content and to differentiate it from the way the
term “human resources” is often used to mean
personnel management in organizational settings.
My Fulbright awards to Malta and Trinidad
and Tobago allowed me the privilege of teach-
ing family resource management to students at
the University of Malta and the University of the
West Indies. Their insights coupled with those
of my students at Florida State University have
enriched this edition. The students, reviewers, and
instructors said time and time again that they did
not want the basic structure of the book (i.e., the
chapter flow from theory and history to applica-
tion to future challenges) changed, but that they
wanted expanded coverage on certain topics. The
most popular chapters with students are those on
time, stress, and fatigue management. Often this
book is referred to as the time management book
because how you spend your time is reflective of
everything else you manage and value in life. In
addition, students find the application-oriented
chapters on work and family, the environment, and
finances to be extremely useful.
Inclusion is a hallmark of each edition
of Resource Management for Individuals and
Families. I recognize the choices one makes in
personal life within the greater context of family,
friends, and the environment. The first edition of
this book set itself apart from others in its empha-
sis on the management problems faced by singles
and single parents as well as on those faced by
two-parent families. This approach is even more
relevant today as indicated in the opening para-
graph of this preface.
More students are graduating and return-
ing to live at home with their parents or with
siblings or establishing themselves in new places
in careers and living alone in apartments enjoying
friendships with other singles. In 1950, 1 percent
of Americans in their 20s lived alone; now it is
over 10 percent. Instructors like historical per-
spective and the historic homes section of this
book and references to the past are a way to give
perspective to what is currently happening. Every
effort is made to speak to a wide variety of stu-
dents, capturing their interests and taking into
account their concerns. More has been added on

positive psychology, leadership, and success and on
the challenges of managing the second half of life
and the retirement years.
organization of this text Resource Management for Individuals and Families
contains 14 well-organized chapters divided into
four parts to introduce students to the best of man-
agement thinking and practice.
Part I begins with an explanation of manage-
ment as a process of using resources to achieve
goals and adds in quality aspects such as success
and happiness. It establishes the foundation and
introduces the management process model used
throughout the book.
Chapter 1 gives basic definitions and
addresses three questions:
• What is management?
• Why manage?
• Who manages?
Chapter 2 covers the interdisciplinary, histori-
cal, and theoretical foundations of the field.
The history of the home continues to fascinate,
and the public is interested in improving
home environments as evidenced by home
improvement shows and networks and supply
stores and websites devoted to homes. This
emphasis on home and environment as a
context within which individuals and families
operate sets this book apart from books that
focus strictly on family relations.
Part II examines the basic concepts underlying
the field of management. These concepts, such as
values, resources, and plans, are timeless and pro-
vide the foundation for the more application-oriented
chapters that follow.
Chapter 3 focuses on values, attitudes,
and goals with a special section on college
students’ values and goals.
Chapter 4 goes right to the heart of the subject
by exploring resources and resource strategy.
Conservation of Resources Theory is added to
this edition.
Chapter 5 provides the steps in decision
making and explains how to solve problems.
The effect of moods and the concept of self-
ambivalence have been added.
Chapter 6 analyzes planning, implementing,
and evaluating. This chapter helps the reader
visualize the steps necessary for success.
Chapter 7 explores communication, social
networks, and the feedback part of the
management process. Plans often fail because
they are not properly communicated.
Part III is about management applications and
each chapter begins with the verb “managing.”
This is a “how-to” section with many practical sug-
gestions. The text goes beyond merely stating the
problems and suggests possible solutions.
Chapter 8 explores population shifts and how
they impact management and resource use.
Chapter 9 shows ways to use time more
effectively.
Chapter 10 discusses workaholism and the
problems associated with balancing work and
family.
Chapter 11 explains what we know from
stress research and how to reduce fatigue.
Sleep and the vagaries of human energy are
also explored.
Chapter 12 brings up environmental problems
and provides solutions. Sustainability, water,
energy, noise, waste and recycling, and air
quality are all discussed.
Chapter 13 on managing finances, is one of
the most important chapters. Students are
setting up their credit and financial patterns
and establishing households. The chapter
explores how to make money stretch further in
a changing economy.
Part IV is about the future of management,
issues, and probabilities.
Chapter 14 concludes the text with an innova-
tive analysis of technology, quality of life, and
family and global change. This section brings
the book full circle—from the introductory
discussions of the history of the study of
management and the problems of contem-
porary families to the management issues on
the horizon.
distinctive Features Resource Management for Individuals and Families
offers a new, interactive approach to teaching
resource management through special features that
are specifically designed to reflect the themes of
choice and decision making, supporting students’
interest and learning. To engage the reader, many
chapters begin with a case or story from the news
about families.
• Management as a Process Approach
Throughout the book, a five-step model is used
to illustrate the thinking and action parts of the
management process. The model begins with
identifying problems, needs, wants, or goals,
then progresses to clarifying values and iden-
tifying resources. Next it moves on to deciding,
planning, and implementing, and ends with
accomplishing goals and evaluating. The
model takes place within an environmental
context and is held together by feedback.
• An Emphasis on Systems and Economic
Theories Rather than relying on only one
theory, this text applies many theories to
decision-making behavior. No particular area
of the field is overemphasized at the expense
of others.
This text is meant to be introductory yet inclusive.
• Pedagogy Current research and managerial
implications are presented in a readable and
interesting style. Examples and photos are
included to stimulate student interest.
• Each chapter begins with two Did You Know?
statements and an epigraph.
• Critical Thinking activities are woven into
each chapter that encourage students to react
to the material presented. They are asked to
agree or disagree and explain their reasoning.
preface ix
Critical thinking, essential for a thoughtful
life, adds a values-based or an evaluation
component.
• Many chapters contain a feature, Suggested
Activities, with ideas for class or group dis-
cussion or for individual reflection, such as
recording sleeping patterns for three days
and comparing one’s sleeping pattern to the
content in the text. The Suggested Activities are
provided in response to instructors’ demand for
more ideas about how to apply the text to their
students’ lives. Professors have told me that
they use this feature to stimulate class discus-
sion or provide in-class activities.
Each chapter ending has the following study aids:
• Summary. A brief review of the major topics
discussed.
• Key Terms. A list of important concepts dis-
cussed in each chapter. To help the reader
locate them, the key terms appear in boldface
type within the chapter text.
• Review Questions. A list of questions meant to
provide the basis for a review of textual mate-
rial and to encourage thought and discussion
on the chapter’s content.
• References. Full details of references cited in
the chapter. An additional list of relevant his-
toric and classic books appears at the end of
Chapter 2.
• The book concludes with a Glossary of the key
terms defined in the chapters and an Index.
