TL;DR: The Fair Work Act 2009 introduced a number of changes to the regulation of work, including a new net of National Employment Standards that incorporated a formal right for some workers to request flexibility or extended unpaid parental leave from 1 January 2010.
Abstract: In recent years a number of major events have influenced Australians’ work, personal, family and community lives. The global financial crisis commenced in 2007/8 and international financial markets have experienced continuing instability. The Fair Work Act 2009 introduced a number of changes to the regulation of work. These included a new net of National Employment Standards that incorporated a formal right for some workers to request flexibility or extended unpaid parental leave from 1 January 2010. A national system of paid parental leave came into effect in January 2011. At the same time, the Australian labour force has continued to evolve, with increasing participation of women, declining rates of participation amongst men, an ageing workforce and a continuing shift in the composition of employment away from manufacturing and agriculture towards the services sector.

TL;DR: This article established a conceptual framework by reviewing the extensive literature on the study of the interrelationship of internship core job characteristics and work-life balance toward general job satisfaction and future career intention of hotel interns.
Abstract: Many hotel management students show negative attitudes toward entering the hotel industry. Such attitudes are likely the result of a negative internship experience that may cause a young person to quickly turn away from the industry. At present, work–life balance is recognized as one of the top five important challenges in human resource management. Additionally, different hotel job characteristics would lead to different internship experiences. This article aims to establish a conceptual framework by reviewing the extensive literature on the study of the interrelationship of internship core job characteristics and work–life balance toward general job satisfaction and future career intention of hotel interns.
