Impact of work-family interference on general well-being: A replication and extension

Author(s): Brotheridge CM, Lee RT

Abstract

This study evaluated a model of how social support, stress, and strain affected work interference with family (WIF) and family interference with work (FIW), as well as how WIF and FIW affected general health outcomes and the cross-domain impact on work-home-load, work-marital distress, and intention to leave job-marriage. The model was analyzed with self-report data obtained from 474 Canadian government employees. The findings revealed that in the work domain, supervisor support was related to work overload, job distress, and intentions to leave the job. Work overload and job distress were strongly related to WIF. WIF, in turn, was related to home overload and intention to leave one's marriage. In the family domain, family support was strongly related to home overload, marital distress, and intention to leave one's marriage. Home overload was moderately related to FIW. However, FIW was only weakly related to job distress, suggesting that the cross-domain impact of WIF was stronger than that of FIW. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
