“…giving of one's time to assist a colleague/family member), informational support and appraisal support (e.g. provision of feedback and affirmation) from work colleagues, supervisors and family members can buffer the impact of WFC/FWC on psychological strain (Ayman & Antani, 2008). In several studies coworker support has featured as a key variable engendering both direct and indirect effects on outcomes.…”

The present study investigated the mediating effects of job satisfaction on the relationship between work-family conflict and psychological strain among Australian social workers. Data for the study were collected by an online survey of the membership of the Australian Association of Social Workers, yielding 439 usable responses. The results provide evidence that job satisfaction mediates the relationship between work-to-family conflict, family-to-work conflict and psychological strain. These findings contribute significantly to the social work literature on work-family interface and confirm the importance of developing and targeting not only strategies that aim to reduce work -family conflict, but also those that aim to increase job satisfaction among social workers.

“…This research distinguishes two dimensions of social support: emotional support and instrumental support. Emotional support refers to listening and providing empathy whereas instrumental support includes loaning money and practical assistance with a task (Ayman and Antani 2008). Instrumental social support is often operationalized as help with domestic work and thus corresponds to my understanding of social capital.…”

“…El conflicto familia-trabajo se ha estudiado en una aproximación bidireccional (Ayman y Antani, 2008) que distingue entre el conflicto del trabajo para la familia (CTF) y el conflicto de la familia para el trabajo (CFT). En este sentido, la investigación metaanalítica encuentra una mayor prevalencia del conflicto del trabajo para la familia (Kossek y Ozeki, 1999;Boyar, Maertz y Pearson, 2005; Mesmer-Magnus y Viswesvaran, 2005), que se explica fundamentalmente por dos razones: 1) porque el trabajo es el sustento económico de las familias; 2) porque las demandas familiares pueden resolverse con mayor flexibilidad y autonomía que las laborales.…”

ResumenEl artículo analiza el efecto directo y modulador del apoyo familiar sobre el burnout en el conflicto entre la familia y el trabajo en familias de clase media española, haciendo análisis separados en función del género para analizar mejor las diferencias. Las relaciones directas muestran sobre todo en las mujeres, que el apoyo familiar se relaciona negativamente con las dos subescalas del burnout. Respecto al papel amortiguador del apoyo familiar sobre los efectos del conflicto familia-trabajo se observan también diferencias de género: en los hombres como se esperaba, el apoyo reduce su percepción de falta de autoeficacia, sin embargo, en las mujeres cuando el conflicto es por estrés o tensión, el apoyo es positivo. Y si el conflicto es por tiempo, el apoyo es negativo, mostrando un efecto reverso. Estos resultados confirman la importancia de atender a un conflicto que se perfila como un estresor importante y cada vez más prevalente en el ám-bito de los servicios de asistencia social a las familias. Un estresor que ha aumentado su presencia como consecuencia de la actual crisis económica. Palabras clave: Conflicto trabajo-familia/familia-trabajo, conflicto por tiempo, conflicto por tensión, apoyo social familiar, burnout. AbstractThe article analyses the direct and modulating effects of family support on burnout in the work-family conflict in Spanish middle-class families. The analysis has been separated by gender in order to better examine differences. Direct relationships in the data show that family support is negatively related to the two subscales of burnout, especially in women. Regarding the buffer effect on work-family conflict, gender differences were found: in men, as expected, support reduced the perception of lack of self-efficacy, however, in women, when the conflict was due to stress or tension, the support had positive effects. If the conflict was due to time, a reverse effect could be found and support was negative. These results confirm the importance of addressing a conflict that is emerging as a major stressor and increasingly prevalent in the field of social services to families. It is a stressor that has increased its presence as a result of the current economic crisis.
