对1980-2003年发表在工业组织心理学和组织行为学期刊上的工作-家庭研究进行了方法学回顾。对210篇文章中发表的225项研究进行了内容分析，以分类方法学特征，包括研究设计，所用数据来源，数据分析技术，所用措施的可靠性和有效性，以及样本的社会人口特征。研究结果支持了许多对WF研究的批评，并表明在工业组织心理学和组织行为学期刊上发表WF研究的学者可以更多地利用纵向和实验研究设计，收集更多的多维度数据，并超越个人层面的分析。采用更多样化的家庭概念，包括更大比例的少数种族和族裔，以及研究管理或专业职位以外的职业工人，似乎也是有道理的。最后，方法学趋势在特定的WF内容领域各不相同，这表明不同的方法可能有助于提高对特定WF主题的认识。
A methodological review was conducted of work-family (WF) research published in industrial-organizational psychology and organizational behavior journals over a period of 24 years (1980-2003). Content analysis was conducted on 225 individual studies published in 210 articles to categorize methodological features, including the research design, sources of data used, data analysis techniques, reliability and validity of measures used, and sociodemographic characteristics of the samples. Results support many of the criticisms of WF research and suggest that scholars publishing WF research in industrial-organizational psychology and organizational behavior journals could make greater use of longitudinal and experimental research designs, gather more multisource data, and move beyond the individual level of analysis. Adopting more diverse conceptualizations of family, including a greater proportion of racial and ethnic minorities, and studying workers in occupations other than managerial or professional positions also appear warranted. Finally, methodological trends varied across specific WF content areas, which suggests that distinct methodologies might be useful to advance knowledge of specific WF topics.
