“…The levels approach assesses general perceptions, or "levels," of work-family conflict, typically in combination with a between persons design. The levels approach has largely dominated the work-family field and generated most of our knowledge about work-family conflict (Lapierre & McMullan, 2016). Even within person studies of daily work-family conflict have been primarily based on a levels approach that captures average work-family conflict for the day (e.g., Judge, Ilies, & Scott, 2006;Wagner et al, 2014).…”

“…This research shows work-family conflict has important implications for a variety of health-related outcomes, such as anxiety, physical symptoms, life satisfaction, sleep, eating behavior, and cardiovascular functioning (Allen & Armstrong, 2006;Amstad et al, 2011;Crain, Hammer, Bodner, Kossek, Moen, Lilenthal, & Buxton, 2014;Frone, Russell, & Cooper, 1997;. The majority of this research captures snapshots of work-family conflict "levels" using cross-sectional, self-report methodology (Lapierre & McMullan, 2016;Maertz & Boyar, 2011). Although informative, this approach limits our understanding of work-family conflict as a dynamic human experience that unfolds across time.…”

A sizable body of research has established work-family conflict and its nomological network. Despite decades of research, we have yet to form a precise understanding of what happens when a conflict arises. The current research addresses this question using a growth modeling, episodic approach. We use stressor-strain and allostatic load theories to examine changes in daily patterns of psychological (fatigue, negative affect) and physiological (heart rate, blood pressure) strains that occur during and after a work-family conflict episode. We found some evidence for acute changes in psychological strain during and after work-to-family conflict episodes. Daily family-to-work conflict was associated with mixed reactions. State fatigue and heart rate decreased at the time of a family-to-work conflict, although state negative affect increased at the time of family-to-work conflict, and state fatigue increased more rapidly throughout the day after the second time family-to-work conflict was experienced. Additionally, we found evidence that state negative affect increases throughout the day as work-to-family conflict episodes accumulate. Daily family-to-work conflict accumulation was also associated with decreased fatigue, increased state negative affect, and increased systolic blood pressure. Lagged analyses showed some evidence that negative mood predicts work-family conflict occurrence within the next few hours. Implications for the theoretical relationship between work-family conflict and strain are discussed.

The paper discusses the connection between parenting style and the scope of the conflict between parental and business roles. For a parenting style, we used the concept of Dianne Baumrind (1966/2002), who defined three basic types of a parent-child relationship: authoritarian, authoritative and permissive. The problem of conflict is accessed through the theory of work-family conflict, the Greenhaus and Beutell model (Greenhaus and Beutell, 1985), according to which the impact of work on a family consists of three sub-dimensions: time-based conflict, strain-based conflict, and behaviour-based conflict. The survey involved 204 respondents – employed parents with at least one child aged 3 to 16 years. The results of the research have shown that the authoritarian and the permissive parenting style is accompanied by a more obvious conflict of parental and business roles, while the positive effect of employment is linked to the authoritative parenting style. Implications of the obtained findings show that business and family responsibilities enable parents to participate in multiple roles, that can be used to promote their growth and development and better functioning in the parental role.

“…Beyond these theoretical and applied contributions of our research, it is also important to recognize that we tested our model with two separate lagged samples that supplement each other in terms of the external validity they provide. Although COR and cognitive appraisal theories posit that the processes (WFC and perceived stress) linking financial insecurity and health unfold over time, most work–family research is conducted using cross‐sectional designs (Lapierre & McMullan, ). The fact that we test our process model using two lagged samples is noteworthy.…”

Data from two longitudinal samples were utilized to elucidate underlying mechanisms of the well‐established relationship between financial insecurity and health outcomes, stemming from the theoretical rationale of conservation of resources and cognitive appraisal theories. Study 1 (n = 80) consisted of low‐wage food manufacturing employees working full time, while Study 2 (n = 331) was consisted of a larger, heterogeneous sample of full‐time workers representing multiple occupations. Respondents were surveyed on financial insecurity, work‐to‐family conflict (WFC), stress, and health outcomes at two time periods, 3 months apart. Results across our studies provided support for the direct effects of financial insecurity on WFC and stress. In addition, appraisals of WFC and stress serve as significant mediators of the relationship between financial insecurity and health outcomes, including a significant overall lagged effect across time, and perceived stress accounting for the largest proportion of variance in the lagged relationship among Time 1 financial insecurity and Time 2 health outcomes. Besides support for conservation of resources and cognitive appraisal theories, practically, our studies suggest that workplace initiatives to reduce financial insecurity could positively influence employees’ work–family, stress, and health experiences. Practitioner points When workers experience financial insecurity, it can have detrimental effects on their health. The effect of financial insecurity on worker health appears to occur because of increased work–family conflict and stress associated with financial insecurity. Direct interventions related to addressing financial insecurity may be challenging, but data suggest there may be a meaningful return‐on‐investment.
