Allen, 2013
This is a handbook chapter on work-family.
- 3 types of work-family conflict: time-based (time spent on tasks), strain-based (pressures associated with responsibilities), and behavior-based (behaviors necessary for each role).
- Predictors of WTF or FTW conflict typically come from same domain
- Strongest predictors of WTFC: Role stressors (role ambiguity, role overload, role conflict, role involvement). Also, NA.
- Neg outcomes: job-related (i.e., performance, job satisfaction) & health (alcohol problems, poor eating/weight gain, & sleep quality).
- Work-family enrichment: experiences in one role improve the quality of life in the other
- Positive outcomes of WFE: job attitudes (i.e., job satisfaction, org commitment), family and marital satisfaction, & health outcomes (sleep, mental and physical health).
- Orgs can help by offering policies & practices (i.e., childcare or elder care referrals) & flexible work arrangements, supervisor- and org support.
- Flexible Work Arrangements are associated with higher productivity, job satisfaction, and decreased absenteeism.
Amstad et al., 2011
This is a meta-analysis examining the outcomes associated with WIF and FIW. They tested the direction and strength of outcomes (what domains had the strongest outcome relationships of each type of conflict).
- WIF and FIW related to outcomes in all domains (work, family, and unspecific domains) BUT stronger relationships to same domain outcomes.
- Example: if time at work is impacting time with family, will have more negative outcomes at work (i.e., withdrawal), and if time at home is interfering with work, it more strongly impacts home outcomes (i.e., marital satisfaction)
- This is thought to be happening bc the employee blames the domain of origin
Casper et al., 2017
This is a meta-analysis on the construct of work-nonwork balance.
The authors found that there is a jingle jangle fallacy happening with “balance” as a construct: researchers have used many definitions for the construct (jingle) and have used the label to describe other constructs, enrichment and conflict (jangle).
The authors found that “work-nonwork balance” is its own construct separate from enrichment and balance.
Greenhaus and Powell, 2006
This is a theory paper about work-family enrichment.
Enrichment is the degree to which experiences in one role improve the quality of life in the other role through transfer of resources or positive affect from one role to the other.
They present a model describing two pathways through which enrichment can occur: instrumental and affective.
Halbesleben et al., 2009
This is an empirical study on the effects of high engagement on work-family conflict (negative consequences of engagement).
- Employees who were highly engaged experienced more WTF conflict, mediated by performing more OCBs.
- This can be explained by COR theory: employees invest personal resources (time, effort, etc) to get more resources, so the more engaged they are, the more likely they are to invest their resources at higher levels by performing OCBs. This leaves fewer resources for family responsibilities.
- Conscientiousness buffered these effects. As a resource, the trait helps people better manage all domains.
Hammer and Demsky, 2014
This is a handbook chapter on work-life balance.
It points out that work-life balance is a positive extension from work-family balance (to acknowledge other life domains). It acknowledges that “balance” is oft critiqued bc it’s near impossible to achieve “balance” - it’s more about people assessing their effectiveness in both domains against internal standards.
They talk about various theories that explain work-life balance, antecedents and outcomes of work-family conflict, and interventions.
Hammer et al., 2009
This is a scale development paper for family supportive supervisor behaviors (FSSBs).
FSSBs are defined as behaviors exhibited by supervisors that are supportive of families.
FSSB has four dimensions: 1) emotional support,
2) instrumental support, 3) role modeling behaviors, and 4) creative work-family management.
FSSB was significantly related to work-family conflict, work-family positive spillover, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions over and above measures of general supervisor support.
Hirschi et al., 2019
This is a study on 4 individual strategies to improve work-non-work balance:
1) allocating resources,
2) changing resources/boundaries,
3) sequencing goals,
4) revising goals.
Michel et al., 2011
This is a meta analysis on the antecedents of work family conflict (both WTF and FTW).
There were unique categories of antecedents for each type/direction of conflict (family demographics, work characteristics), but some were the same (role stressors):
- Family to work conflict was predicted by family climate, family stressors (i.e., number of kids, role ambig), and family support
- Work to family conflict was predicted by work role stressors, work role involvement, work characteristics
They did find that some factors also predicted the other direction of conflict. For example, work stressors and work social support predicted FTW conflict also, and family role stressors (specifically role related ones like role ambig) also predicted WTF conflict.
Sawyer et al., 2017
This is an empirical study that also formed theory about LGB work family experiences.
- Existing work family literature assumed heterosexual families.
- LG families face unique work family issues, which can lead to added “stigma-based” stressors and strains that heterosexual couples do not experience, ie.: not being able to invite family/partner to work events, lack of same-sex benefits at work, pressure to suppress family info at work.
- Outcomes of these stressors include depersonalization, hypervigilence and fragmented family ID (diff ID at work and home)
Johnson and Hall, 1988
Job demands control support model
-Expanded upon the job demands-control model (Karasek, 1979) to add support as an additional buffer.
Porath et al., 2012
Empirical article on construct of thriving.
Thriving is made up of two factors: learning and vitality.
Thriving relates to P.A., learning goal orientation, proactive personality, CSE, development initiative, and health. Negatively related to burnout.
Thriving is time- and context-dependent.
Sonnentag, 2015
This is a review chapter on well-being.
- Well-being: broadly defined as feeling good and/or experiencing fulfillment and purpose.
- Well-being is dynamic. It fluctuates over shorter time frames (days/weeks), can increase/decrease over longer. Changes impact performance.
- Positive aspects/indicators of well being typically used in research are ENGAGEMENT, THRIVING, & AFFECT.
- Outcomes of well-being supported by research (using indicators above):
- Task Performance
- OCBs and proactive behavior
- Changes in job stressors
- Changes in Job resources: Work engagement increases autonomy, learning opps, and other job resources
- Changes in interpersonal work environment: engagement may predict increase in positive work relationships & social support over time.
- Changes in work-family interface: in their views of the interface. Increase in WTF enrichment. Strain symptoms predict increase in WTF conflict.
- Performance can be a predictor of well being: Self-rated performance can predict increase in dedication and decrease in emotional exhaustion over time.
Ott-Holland et al., 2017
This is an empirical study on the effectiveness of employee wellness programs.
Employees perceive greater org support for the wellness program, it leads to higher participation rates, and that leads to improved performance, job satisfaction, and lower turnover.
Litwiller et al., 2017
This is the first meta on sleep and the antecedents and outcomes of sleep quality and quantity.
- Workload negatively predicts sleep quality and quantity.
- Poor sleep quality and quantity predict negative affect (state) and work-family conflict
- Poor sleep quality and quantity associated with fatigue.
Cavanaugh et al., 2000
The challenge-hindrance model of stress
Applies Lazarus’ transactional theory of stress to workplace, and focuses on workoutcomes rather than health outcomes.
-Challenge stressors: job demands such as job overload, time pressures, & high levels
of responsibility
-Hindrance stressors: job demands or circumstances that hinder one’s ability to achieve valued goals (i.e. org politics, red tape, job insecurity)
-Challenge stressors positively related to job satisfaction and negatively related to job search. Hindrance stressors had opposite rx and also positively related to turnover.
Demerouti et al., 2001
Job Demands-Resources Model
- Jobs are characterized by demands and resources.
- Two processes: motivational and health impairment
- Demands lead to strain. Resources lead to motivation.
- Resources buffer the impact of demands on strain. Demands lessen the influence of resources of motivation.
- Demands can be challenges or hindrances (LePine et al., 2005).
Bakker and Demerouti, 2017
This is a review of the JD-R model and theory and its evolutions over the last 15 years.
Job crafting and undermining added to JDR.
Those are intervention points.
Hobfall, 1989
Conservation of Resources Theory.
- Humans are motivated to maintain their current resources and to pursue new resources.
- Resources are broadly defined as the objects, energies, personal characteristics, and conditions valued by the person or that assist the person in obtaining those things. They are valued in their own right or because they lead to other resources.
- Stress arises from an actual or threat of loss of resources or lack of gain of resources following an investment of resources.
- People have to offset one resource loss with another. This means there are fewer there at one’s disposal so resource loss is cumulative. Makes the person less resilient toward future losses.
- The stress can be mitigated if the person perceives they have the resources to cope with the stressor (similar to transactional model). If they don’t, they would experience strain.
Ilgen and Hollenbeck, 1991
Role Stress Model
- Role conflict and role ambiguity are major components of work stress
- Role overload is the third most common
- Built off role theory (Katz and Kahn, 1964)
Karasek, 1979
Job Demand Control Model
- Demands and control interact to predict strain (high demands and low control predicts the most strain).
- Work motivation, learning and growth will occur in situations where both job demands and worker control are high (“active jobs”).
- Johnson and Hall (1988) added “support” as an additional buffer to strain
Lazarus and Folkman, 1987
Transactional Theory of Stress
- One of the most popular frameworks for understanding psychosocial stress.
- Stress doesn’t reside in the person or the environment but in the INTERACTION between the two. It’s very much a cognitive process that involves appraisals of the situation and then responses to those appraisals.
Includes 2 levels of appraisals:
1) Threat appraisal: If a threat is perceived, there is a secondary appraisal of one’s coping resources.
2) Coping appraisal: If sufficient resources are available to reduce the threat, one will engage in problem-focused coping. If there are not sufficient resources, one will engage in emotion-focused coping which involves trying to alter one’s perception or response (reframing; meditation, etc).
This theory fits well with allostatic load model (McEwan, 1998) because it allows for a range of responses to stress.
LePine et al., 2005
This is a meta-analysis that sought to explain stress’ differential (mixed) effects on performance.
- They used the challenge-hindrance stressor framework (Cavanaugh et al., 2000), which was based on Lazarus and Folkman (1984), as well as VIE (expectancy; Vroom, 1964).
- Challenge demands positively impact performance directly and indirectly through decreasing strains and increasing motivation.
- Hindrance demands negatively impact performance directly and indirectly through decreasing motivation and increasing strain.
