“…Recent reviews in the migration and expatriation literatures especially have been helpful in framing the issues of global family life clearly and constructively (e.g. Beigi and Shirmohammadi, 2017;Bianchi and Milkie, 2010;Glick, 2010;Grillo, 2008;Jaga and Guetterman, 2021;Lin and Lin, 2021;Mazzucato and Schans, 2011;Shaffer, Joplin and Hsu, 2011;Van Hook and Glick, 2020). An analysis of these reviews, which have been published in several prominent outlets for research in these areas (Work, Family & Community, Journal of Marriage and Family, The International Journal of Human Resource Management and Journal of Global Mobility among them), highlights a number of key topics that have remained consistent over the years.…”

“…The importance of grounding context-sensitive work-family theory and research in lived realities is becoming increasingly important as workers' experiences and policy outcomes depend on the organisational as well as the socio-cultural, political, and economic context of a country (Jaga & Guetterman, 2021). Workplace cultures and other contextual factors shape the availability of different work-family arrangements, the ability of workers to access an arrangement (Lott & Abendroth, 2020;Eaton, 2003), and the outcomes of those arrangements (Kelly et al, 2014;Chung, 2022).…”

This special issue showcases recent scholarship that clarifies the nature of inequality as it emerges at the intersection of today's workplaces and homes. We bring together scholarly works presented during the Work and Family Researchers Network conferences from 2018 and 2020. These articles provide a foundation for the development of future knowledge that advances equality at work and home, paying special attention to the complex nature of work and family in diverse contexts. Our introduction to the issue further highlights the need to amplify the voices and experiences of marginalised groups of people around the world who have received limited attention in the work and family literature. We conclude by offering suggestions of the role each of us can play in helping the work-family field become more inclusive and expanding ways of knowing that better represent work-family occurrences across diverse contexts.

“…Following this call for research, we took the opportunity to examine Lebanon—a developing economy with minimal labour protection and statutory work–life support—as our study context. To empirically examine how the Lebanese context interacts with the provision of organisational work–life support and related employee consequences, we apply a mixed methods approach (Bartholomew & Brown, 2012; Church & Katigbak, 2002) that follows an exploratory sequential design (Jaga & Guetterman, 2021). This allows us by means of qualitative interviews to first explore and identify the unique context specific challenges, available support mechanisms and reactions as well as coping strategies from the view of HR managers and BC and WC workers alike.…”

Managing work and nonwork responsibilities when labour protection is weak: The role of family supportive supervisor behaviours

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Knowledge concerning the reconciliation of work and life in developing countries with weak labour protection and little governmental support (e.g. statutory work–life support) is still very limited. In this mixed‐method study, we explore how employees manage their work and nonwork responsibilities in Lebanon—a developing country with poor national and organisational work–life support. Findings from a qualitative study of 10 blue‐ (BC),10 white‐collar (WC) workers and 10 HR professionals from companies in various industries identified contextual challenges and strategies to reconcile work and nonwork responsibilities. In a quantitative study based on a survey of 269 employees, we examined the effect of family supportive supervisor behaviour (FSSB) for different groups of workers and explored one potential mechanism of FSSB, namely, schedule fit. Results show that FSSB increases employees' perceptions of schedule fit, which, in turn, minimises their work–life conflict (WLC). We also found that BC workers seem to benefit more from FSSB than WC workers. We inform work–life research on less supportive contexts and offer practical recommendations for HR managers to operate successfully within these environments.
