Abstract
The concept of life space structure described elsewhere is developed and explored as a means of representing and explaining the effectiveness of individuals' characteristic behavioral patterns of arranging work and personal life. Common problems and opportunities of work and personal life coordination are described and analyzed from the perspective of four types of life space structure: home-based nuclear, work-based nuclear, conjoint, and diffuse. Hypotheses are proposed about the conditions under which certain types of life space structure are likely to be more effective than others.
