Implications of Work and Community Demands and Resources for Work-to-Family Conflict and Facilitation.

Abstract

Based on a differential salience approach, this article examines the combined effects of work and community demands and resources on work-to-family conflict and facilitation. The study uses information from 2,507 employed respondents from the 1995 National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States. The findings indicate that work demands are relatively strongly related to work-to-family conflict, whereas work resources are relatively more important in relation to work-to-family facilitation. Social incoherence and friend demands are positively related to work-to-family conflict, whereas sense of community and support from friends have positive effects on facilitation. Community resources also show weak amplifying effects on some of the positive relationships between work resources and work-to-family facilitation. The findings provide modest support for the hypotheses.

Path analysis of work conditions and work–family spillover as modifiable workplace factors associated with depressive symptomatology

“…Work-family spillover refers to the concept that activities in one domain have an impact on the other. The study of work-family spillover is enhanced by examining both directions of work-family spillover, that is work-tofamily spillover, and family-to-work spillover, and by the recognition that spillover can be positive (facilitation) or negative (conflict) (Grzywacz & Bass, 2003;Grzywacz & Marks, 2000;Grzywacz & Dooley, 2003;KeHoway, Gottlieb, & Barham, 1999;Voydanoff, 2004). In keeping with this approach, the relationship between work-family balance and depressive symptomatology will now be discussed.…”

The Differential Salience of Family and Community Demands and Resources for Family-to-Work Conflict and Facilitation

“…Fourth, it incorporates community demands and resources as additional possible sources of family-to-work conflict and facilitation. It also builds on a previous study by Voydanoff (2004a), who examined work and community demands and resources in relation to work-to-family conflict and facilitation.…”

Interface trabalho-família, vinculação romântica e parentalidade

“…Atualmente, assiste-se a um esbatimento das fronteiras entre trabalho e família (Voydanoff, 2004), fruto de mudanças económicas, sociais e demográficas, que resultaram no aumento da participação feminina no mercado de trabalho (INE, 2012;INE PORDATA, 2016), assim como no aumento da exigência e competitividade laborais (Lima & Neves, 2011). Em particular em Portugal, o subsequente aumento das famílias de duplo-emprego, especialmente as que têm filhos em idade pré-escolar (INE, 2012), tem posto em evidência a necessidade de se aumentar o conhecimento científico no âmbito da interface trabalho-família.…”
