“…Once they reached home, they were bound to do house chores, further limiting their sunlight exposure time. Similar experiences were shared by women in eight European countries, whereby gender inequality and expectations of married working women, especially mothers, are higher in balancing work-family commitments compared to their counterparts [ 39 ].…”

The prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency is significant even in tropical countries such as Malaysia. Sun exposure is the primary source of vitamin D for most people due to limited intakes of food containing vitamin D and supplements. This study explored the perception of barriers towards sun exposure and strategies to overcome these barriers among vitamin D insufficient women workers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Twenty-five female indoor workers with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D < 50 nmol/L participated in seven focus group discussions (FGDs). Barriers towards sun exposure were lack of accurate knowledge of vitamin D, health concern towards sun exposure, time constraints, desire to have fair and beautiful skin, sedentary lifestyle, indoor workplace, weather, lack of social support, living arrangement, safety concerns, and religious or cultural practices. The improvement strategies were classified into lifestyle changes and workplace opportunity for sun exposure. Public education on safe sun exposure to produce an optimal level of vitamin D is necessary. Future studies should evaluate the effectiveness of sunlight exposure program at workplace for the high-risk vitamin D deficiency group.

“…The reason for this interaction effect may be because of the difference in the salience of the family domain attached by the groups of managers. Women draw greater satisfaction from family life than from their work (Beham et al , 2017; Grzywacz and Marks, 2000; Rothbard, 2001) because of prevalent cultural values. Likewise, women are more likely to experience more satisfaction in family life when they are married than men because of widespread cultural norms and beliefs, particularly in Nigeria.…”

“…Considering how men and women define themselves and behave, arguably gender will moderate the effect of WFC and FS on millennial managers' engagement. Extant studies have shown that women value family more than men (Beham et al, 2017;Grzywacz and Marks, 2000). Lyu and Fan (2020) contend that men may be inclined to fulfil their family responsibilities through work.…”

Purpose Millennials’ perception of work, personal and family life is different from other generations. Building on studies on workforce generations, this paper aims to uncover not only the effect of work-to-family conflict (WFC) and family satisfaction (FS) on millennial managers engagement but also the moderating effect of (gender and marital status) in predicting engagement. Design/methodology/approach This paper used a survey to collect data from managers of selected companies in Nigeria. In total, 127 questionnaires were analysed using the partial least square structural equation modelling method. Findings Results reveal that the relationship between WFC, FS and millennial managers’ engagement is direct and significant. Besides, the effect of WFC on engagement is stronger in men and for married. The effect of FS on engagement is greater for women than men and for married. Practical implications This study informs the research community as well as practitioners and affirms the importance of supportive work-to-family life and FS in fostering millennial managers’ engagement with their organisations. Originality/value This study is among the initial attempts to evaluate the impact of WFC and FS on engagement among millennial managers, especially in Africa, Nigeria in particular. The results identify millennial managers’ unique perspectives towards engagement and how gender and marital status may enhance engagement. With millennials fast attaining leadership roles, such knowledge is important.

“…Research has shown that both male and female workers can transfer resources from their work role to their families through WFE (e.g., Beham, Drobni c, Pr€ ag, Baierl & Lewis, 2020;Schnettler et al, 2022). Yet work-family experiences can differ for men and women due to structural work conditions and traditional gender role demands.…”

Resources that individuals acquire at work can have significant effects on their own well‐being and family satisfaction, and on those of their closest family relations. Following the conservation of resources theory, this study examined the effects of work‐to‐family enrichment (WFE) on psychological distress (depression, anxiety, and stress) and family satisfaction (SWFaL) in different‐gender dual‐earner parents. The sample consisted of 473 couples – mother and father – from Temuco, Chile, who answered the Work‐Family Interface scale, the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, and the Satisfaction with Family Scale. The analysis was conducted using the Actor‐Partner Interdependence Model (APIM). Results showed that WFE was positively associated with SWFaL for both mothers and fathers (actor effects), whereas higher WFE was linked to lower psychological distress only in fathers. For mothers and fathers, psychological distress was negatively associated with their own (actor effects) and the other parent's SWFAL (partner effects). The mediating role of psychological distress was found only for fathers' WFE and their SWFaL. These results indicate that resources from work can increase family satisfaction for both fathers and mothers in dual‐earner couples with adolescent children. However, in these couples, fathers acquire affective resources (positive mood) that reduce their own psychological distress, while mothers acquire skills (managing time at home more efficiently) that they invest directly in the family domain.
