I/0 psychological approach to work-family relations

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Research on the work-family relationship has produced three competing models : spillover, compensation, and segmentation models, each assuming positive, negative, and no relationship between work and family attitudes, respectively. Past research can be characterized by efforts to confirm/disconfirm specific patterns of causality. Rather than extending similar efforts, we attempted at identifying conditions that would sort heterogeneous aggregates of individuals into homogeneous subgroups, each with a similar form of work-family relationship. Underlying is an assumption that different models are true for different individuals, and we could find the assumption to be correct.
