“…Thus, construction professionals who spend energy and effort on the fulfillment of work and family roles are more likely to slack off at work to protect their resources (e.g., working slowly) or replenish their resources (e.g., working on a personal matter, or taking a longer break). Work–family conflict can thus be taken as a precursor to voluntary deviant behavior [ 42 ]. On this basis, the following hypotheses are proposed:…”

Given the dynamic, complex, and highly demanding project environment, construction professionals are particularly likely to experience a high level of work–family conflict. Taking an emotional resource perspective and on the basis of affective events theory, this study tested negative affect and emotional exhaustion as sequential mediators between two directions of work–family conflict and workplace well-being or deviance behavior. The theoretical model was examined using data collected at two time points from 143 construction professionals through regression analysis and bootstrapping. The results indicate that work–family conflict was positively related to deviant behavior and negatively related to workplace well-being. The findings demonstrate that the mediation effects of emotional exhaustion between work–family conflict and workplace well-being or deviant behavior were significant and that the sequential mediating effects of negative affect and emotional exhaustion in the relationship between work–family conflict and workplace well-being or deviant behavior were significant. Moreover, different impacts of work interference with family and family interference with work on job-related attitudes and behavior were observed. These findings highlight the importance of emotional experience to understand the negative impact of work–family conflict in the temporary project context.

“…Cohen & Golan [32] argue that, even if there are WFP, the organisation may experience high work absenteeism if these policies are not properly implemented. Further, if labour policies are also not properly implemented in the company, then the conflict between work and family can lead to numerous negative consequences in the workplace, that is, certain counterproductive work behaviours for the organisation and its members, as is the case regarding work absenteeism [38].…”

I Can’t Go to Work Tomorrow! Work-Family Policies, Well-Being and Absenteeism

2020

Among the main causes of absenteeism are health problems, emotional problems, and inadequate work-family policies (WFP). This paper analyses the impact of the existence and accessibility of WFP on work absenteeism, by considering the mediating role of the well-being, which includes emotional as well as physical or health problems, that is generated by these policies. We differentiate between the existence of the WFP and its accessibility, as the mere existence of the WFP in an organisation is not enough. Additionally, workers must be able to access these policies easily and without retaliation of any kind. The model includes the hierarchy and the gender as moderating variables. To test the proposed hypotheses, a structural equation model based on the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) approach is applied to a sample of employees in the service sector in Spain. On the one hand, the findings show that the existence of WFP has no direct effect on absenteeism; however, accessibility to these policies does have a direct effect on absenteeism. On the other hand, both the existence and accessibility of WFP have positive direct effects on emotional well-being. In addition, emotional well-being is positively related to physical well-being which, in turn, promotes a reduction in absenteeism. Finally, significant differences in the relationship between the existence of WFP and emotional well-being confirm the special difficulty of female managers in reconciling family life and work life.

“…Research in the area of the work-life interface has predominantly been focused on the conflict perspective (Geraldes et al, 2018;O'Neill and Follmer, 2020;Talukder, 2019). It has been well acknowledged and established by researchers that employees who encounter conflict between work and non-work demands more often experience detrimental individual outcomes such as poor physical and psychological health, negative impact on marital life and job-related consequences such as absenteeism, turnover, job dissatisfaction and burnout (Baral and Sampath, 2019;Ferri et al, 2018;Selvarajan et al, 2019). A plethora of literature on interference perspective have examined various antecedents contributing to WFC and FWC, such as work overload, hours worked, family demands, family pressures, neuroticism and low self-efficacy (Baral, 2019;Chan et al, 2020;Cheng et al, 2019;Weale et al, 2020).…”

“…Moreover, employees' perceptions of workplace support reflect their belief that their organization appreciates their contribution and hard work and is apprehensive about their well-being. Furthermore, such support seeks to encourage the proper scheduling of tasks, allowing employees to find solutions tailored to their specific needs (Chan et al, 2020;O'Neill and Follmer, 2020;Selvarajan et al, 2019).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a clear view of current dynamics and research diversification of extant literature in the field of work-life balance (WLB). This paper provides a systematic and critical analysis of WLB literature using bibliometric analysis.Design/methodology/approach Scopus database has been used for carrying out this review that is based on 945 research papers published from 1998 to 2020. The prominence of the research is assessed by studying the publication trend, sample statistics, theoretical foundation, the highly cited research articles and journals, most commonly used keywords, research themes of top four recognized clusters, sub-themes within each cluster and thematic overview of WLB corpus formed on the premise of bibliographic coupling. Additionally, content analysis of recently published papers revealed emerging research patterns and potential gaps.Findings Major findings indicate that the research area consists of four established and emerging research themes based on clusters formed as (1) flexible work arrangements, (2) gender differences in WLB, (3) work–life interface and its related concepts, and (4) WLB policies and practices. Emerging themes identified through content analysis of recent articles include gender discrepancy, the impact of different forms of contextual (situational) factors and organizational culture.Originality/value This research paper is the first of its kind on the subject of WLB as it provides multifariousness of study fields within the WLB corpus by using varied bibliographic mapping approaches. It also suggests viable avenues for future research.
