“…Husbands' job involvement is not related to wives' marital satisfaction (Barling, in press); neither was maternal job involvement associated with their children's behavioural problems (Barling & Van Bart, 1984). On the contrary, husbands' job satisfaction is a significant predictor of wives' marital satisfaction (Barling, in press), while maternal job satisfaction is negatively associated with their preschool daughters' conduct problems (Barling & Van Bart, 1984), and fathers' job satisfaction is associated with their children's conduct problems (Barling, 1984). In searching for workrelated variables that impact on well-being (Kahn, 1981), possible differential effects arising from intrinsic work aspects in contrast to emotional outcomes from work should be considered.…”

Two consistent problems in research assessing the work stress/health relationship are identified, namely, the tendency (a) to ignore possible gender differences in the association between work stressors and health, and (b) to assess work status (i.e., whether an individual is employed or not) rather than the experience of unique work stressors. This study focuses on the association between health problems and work involvement, job satisfaction and role conflict for 91 males and 56 females, all in full-time employment with at least one dependent child. Role conflict and job dissatisfaction predicted health problems of females, but not of males, while work involvement was not associated with health for either gender. The role conflict/health relationship differed significantly for males and females, although the job dissatisfaction/health relationship did not.The dichotomy between emotional outcomes arising from work (e.g., job dissatisfaction and role conflict) and intrinsic work aspects (e.g., job involvement); the importance of gender role expectations on the working mother and father; and the differential experiences of work of males and females are suggested as possible factors accounting for the different patterns of relationships. Some suggestions for further research are offered.S.Afr. J. Psychol. 1984, 14:50 -53 Twee probleme word geIdentifiseer in navorsing om die werkspanning/gesondheidsverhouding vas te stel, naamlik die neiging (a) om moontlike geslagsverskille in die verhouding tussen werkspanninge en gesondheid te ignoreer, en (b) om werkstatus te beraam (bv., of 'n individu werk het of nie) eerder as die ervaring van unieke werkspanninge. Hierdie studie konsentreer op die verhouding tussen gesondheidsprobleme en werksbetrokkenheid, arbeidsbevrediging, en rolkonflik vir 91 mans en 56 vrouens, almal voltyds in diens en met ten minste een afhanklike kind. Rolkonflik en onbevredigende werksomstandighede (negatiewe werksbevrediging) het vrouens se gesondheidsprobleme voorspel, maar nie die van mans nie, en werksbetrokkenheid is vir geen geslag met gesondheid in verband gebring nie. Die rolkonflik/gesondheidsverhouding het betekenisvol verskil vir mans en vrouens, alhoewel dit nie die geval was met die verhouding tussen negatiewe arbeidsbevrediging en gesondheid nie.Die digotomie tussen emosionele uitvloeisels uit mense se werk (bv., negatiewe arbeidsbevrediging en rolkonflik) en intrinsieke werksaspekte (bv., werksbetrokkenheid); die belangrikheid van geslagsrolverwagtings van die werkende moeder of vader; en mans en vrouens se verskillende werkservaringe word voorgestel as moontlike faktore wat verantwoordelik is vir die verskillende verhoudingspatrone. 'n Paar voorstelle vir verdere navorsing word aangebied.

“…The negative effects of work-family conflict and family-work conflict spill over to other family members. There is growing evidence that work-family conflict affects parents' moods and parent-child interaction, which in turn affects children's behaviour (Barling 1986(Barling ,1994MacEwen and Barling, 1991). Children's distress may be reflected in ill health, poor performance at school, and anti-social behaviour.…”

Power dynamics in the long‐term development of employee‐friendly flexible working

This paper focuses on the possibilities of the long‐term development of flexible working as a work‐life policy, through understanding the power dynamics between the individual and the organisation. The study presents a framework which summarises the factors influencing the employee‐employer power dynamics, and leads us to the research questions. The methodology involves triangulation in case studies in two organisations based on surveys of representative samples in each organisation (n = 243 and n = 128) and interviews with the management. Findings support the long‐term development of employee‐friendly flexible working. There is a strong desire, and a lack of polarisation of attitudes, among employees for greater flexibility. Certain employee groups with stronger negotiating power have initiated the work‐life debate, but in doing so, they have increased the power of all employees through lowering ideological barriers, and creating knowledge of new possibilities and aspirations. Favourable external pressures and changing business needs also improve the position of employees.

“…Jackson and Maslach (1982) reported significant associations between burn-out experienced among corrections officers and their own and their wives reports of less satisfying family relationships. Job-induced emotional depletion (Jackson, Zedeck and Summers, 1983, self-reported feelings of stress after work (Crouter, Perry-Jenkins, Hutson, and Crawford, 1989), and job dissatisfaction (Barling and Van Bart, 1984;Barling, 1986) have each been associated with poorer outcomes in the family domain. However, it seems important to distinguish individuals' subjects reactions to their jobs from assessments of job characteristics, per se.…”

Work experiences and marital interactions: Elaborating the complexity of work

Previous research suggests that work experiences affect family interactions and family processes but does not adequately specify the job characteristics that influence such family‐level outcomes. This study examines relationships between the quality of marital interactions and a range of job characteristics including the level of enrichment provided by the job, job time demands, job pressure, schedule flexibility, and job insecurity. The sample consisted of 523 married full time employees at a major U.S. company. Multiple regression analysis indicated that these job characteristics significantly predict the quality of marital interactions. Some directly influenced the quality of marital interaction while the influence of others was moderated by the presence or absence of stressful household roles. Results suggest that characteristics workers' jobs, and not merely workers' reactions to them, are associated with family interactions and family processes.
