“…Support from partners was perceived to be available and important by both British and Chinese academics. Our finding is congruent with previous studies (Aryee et al 1999;Beutell and Greenhaus 1983;Lo, Stone, and Ng 2003;Ren and Foster 2011) which found that support from the spouse can generate positive feelings about and enhance contentment with WLB. British academics cited both emotional and physical support from their partners.…”

Drawing on in-depth interviews with 30 academics from various disciplines in both UK and Chinese universities, this comparative study aims to offer new insights into how academics in British and Chinese universities maintained work-life balance and the similarities and differences experienced between academics of both countries. This study finds that both British and Chinese academics adopted a range of approaches to cope with work-life imbalance, and the approaches fall into three types of coping strategies, namely behavioural, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. Whilst convergence occurs in coping strategies adopted by the two groups of academics, this study uncovers greater divergence. This can be explained by differing institutional, legal and political arrangements, and cultural values and attitudes to work and life in the two contexts. All of these have practical implications for institutions and managers in both higher education sectors.

“…Job demand has also been shown to affect well-being via work-family conflict (Aryee et al, 1999;Frone et al, 1992). Therefore, it follows that H4a: Those with high job demand will report higher distress and lower job satisfaction compared to those with low demand.…”

“…These pressures include time spent in work or family activities, stressors within the work or family domains, and high involvement in work or family life (e.g. Adams et al, 1996;Aryee et al, 1999;Beutell & Wittig-Berman, 1999;Frone et al, 1997). Because of the interdependence of work and family in relation to well-being, this conflict between work and family may also be considered as a source of stress that influence well-being.…”

“…Many studies have in fact viewed work-family conflict as a mediator of relationships between work and family role pressures and individual well-being (e.g. Aryee et al, 1999;Frone et al, 1992Frone et al, , 1997.…”

“…In this model, work-family conflict was found to act as an intervening pathway between work-and family-related variables and individual well-being, and that the two forms of conflict were reciprocally related to one another. Subsequent studies have followed suit in viewing work-family conflict as a mediator of relationship between work and family role experiences and individual well-being (Aryee et al, 1999;Beutell & WittigBerman, 1999;Frone et al, 1997;Kinnunen & Mauno, 1999).…”
