尽管研究一致发现工作与家庭冲突与员工健康之间存在关系，但饮食和锻炼等健康相关行为的作用却被忽视了。本研究探讨了工作家庭冲突两个方向——家庭对工作的干扰（FIW）和工作对家庭的干扰（WIF）与多种健康相关行为（体力活动、脂肪食物消费和健康食品消费）以及身体健康的多种指标（整体健康、健康障碍和体重）之间的联系。基于 246 名就业人员的样本，路径分析表明 FIW 与较少的体力活动和食用更多的高脂肪食物有关。此外。 WIF 与健康食品摄入量减少有关。脂肪食物消耗与体重和整体健康相关，而体力活动与整体健康和健康障碍相关。这些发现代表了更好地理解工作家庭冲突与员工身体健康之间联系的过程的第一步。
Although research consistently finds a relationship between work-family conflict and employee health, the role of health-related behaviors such as diet and exercise have been overlooked. The present research examines the links between both directions of work-family conflict-family interference with work (FIW) and work interference with family (WIF)-with several health-related behaviors (physical activity, fatty food consumption, and healthy food consumption) and with multiple indicators of physical health (overall health, health disorders, and body mass). Based on a sample of 246 employed individuals, path analysis demonstrates that FIW was associated with less physical activity and with eating more high fat foods. In addition. WIF was associated with eating fewer healthy foods. Fatty food consumption related to body mass and overall health, whereas physical activity related to overall health and health disorders. The findings represent an initial step toward a better understanding of the process linking work-family conflict with employee physical health.
