“…Although the majority of studies use aggregate measures of overall WFE (e.g. Bhargava and Baral, 2009;Carlson et al, 2010;Chen et al, 2016;Daniel and Sonnentag, 2016;Marques et al, 2015;Siu et al, 2010), a recent study by Nicklin and McNall (2013) provides evidence that the different dimensions of enrichment may have distinct antecedents and consequences. The present study focuses on developmental work-to-family enrichment and the transfer of resources along the instrumental pathway between work and family domain.…”

All social roles have positive and rewarding as well as negative or problematic aspects. Research on the work-family interface has predominantly focused on conflicting roles. In contrast, this paper extends research on work-family enrichment (WFE), a positive aspect of work, and gender differences in WFE in a cross-national context. Drawing upon social role theory and the culture sensitive theory on work-family enrichment, we examined gender differences in experiences of developmental WFE in a sample of service sector employees in eight European countries. In line with traditional gender roles, women reported more WFE than men. The * This article

“…Those who preferred to integrate work into the family domain experienced greater work-home enrichment. Similarly, those who perceived time flexibility in the workplace experienced greater work-home enrichment, which was related to job satisfaction (Daniel & Sonnentag, 2016).…”

“…Flex time (the ability to determine arrival and departure times), specifically, and compressed work schedules (more hours per day but fewer days per week), have been associated with perceptions of work-home enrichment, and, in turn, with increased job satisfaction and decreased turnover intentions (McNall, Masuda, & Nicklin, 2010). Similarly, the perception of a flexible work environment (e.g., the ability to physically leave the work place for family or personal reasons) has been associated with work-home enrichment (Daniel & Sonnentag, 2016).…”

Prior research has indicated that the nature of work has changed dramatically in recent years in response to economic shifts and an increasingly global economy. In part, this shift has resulted in a greater efficacy of various work-life balance and worker schedule flexibility elements in the experiences of employees in the workplace. However, little is known about the overall comparative quality of work and job satisfaction around the world in response to a shifting and increasingly interconnected global economy. In this study, we use non-panel longitudinal data from the most recent wave of the International Social Survey Program (Work Orientations IV, 2015) to conduct an exploratory comparative analysis of the impact of various workplace conditions, job characteristics, and employee attitudes in relation to comparative job satisfaction across the globe, with a special focus on the role of work-life balance and worker scheduling flexibility. Employees across the globe respond quite differently to work scenarios, which poses challenges for companies operating in multiple countries, requires adjustments to human resource practices to optimize performance levels of employees and reduce turnover expenses, and should caution managers to scrutinize their procedures to adjust to new demands in the workplace. This study adds value by making global comparisons of various workplace factors and their impact on job satisfaction using a database reflecting practices in 37 countries.

Addressing a long‐standing gap in the work‐life literature in identifying across‐domain implications of volunteering, this paper examines how individuals manage cross‐domain demands of work, life, and volunteering using twenty in‐depth interviews with young adults from Canada. Results revealed six distinct motivators for volunteering along the intrinsic‐extrinsic motivation spectrum, and the strategies adopted in managing the demands across the triple domains. Six categories align with the volunteer functional inventory (VFI), validating VFI and linking the functional analysis to motivation spectrum. The manuscript significantly adds to theory and practice by introducing the Matrix of Motivators and Resource Investment (MMRI), which identifies different volunteer types with the drivers for volunteering and resource prioritization. The study also highlights practical implications and future research directions.
