“…Self‐esteem is indicative of high feelings of self‐worth and, thus, may be an important factor when confronting adverse work experiences and effectively managing difficulties within a relationship. The current findings, along with the results from Yang et al (), are consistent with the spillover (Minnotte et al, ; Rogers & May, ; Van Steenbergen et al, ) and depletion (Whisman & Kwon, ) hypotheses, in that negative experiences, including work adversity, can erode positive resources, such as self‐esteem, through increased and prolonged negativity.…”

“…Adverse work experiences and family life are intricately intertwined with one another, causing experiences in one domain to affect the other (Matthews, Conger, & Wickrama, ; Minnotte, Minnotte, & Bonstrom, ). This association is particularly important because the number of dual‐earner couples has steadily risen since the 1970s.…”

“…We posit that individual work experiences influence one's own marital quality and the marital quality of one's spouse through both spillover and crossover influences. The spillover hypothesis suggests that consequences of experiences in one life domain are not limited to the domain in which they occur; instead, these consequences may “spill over” to affect other domains (Minnotte et al, ; Rogers & May, ; Van Steenbergen, Kluwer, & Karney, ). That is, systems are not impervious to other environments; one context or setting (e.g., work) can have an impact on the individual in other environments or settings he or she belongs to (e.g., family; Ford, Heinen, & Langkamer, ; Larson, Wilson, & Beley, ).…”

This study assesses the decade‐long influence of adverse work experiences on husbands' and wives' problem‐solving behaviors and marital quality through self‐esteem using structural equation modeling with a sample of 308 dual‐earning couples. Analyses controlled for earlier marital quality, allowing for assessment of the residual change in marital quality over 10 years. Adverse work experiences directly affected marital quality and indirectly affected decreases in marital quality through lower self‐esteem; lastly, individuals' self‐esteem was positively related to increased problem‐solving behaviors. In addition, there was a crossover association, with wives' and husbands' self‐esteem influencing one another's problem‐solving behaviors. These results contribute to a deeper understanding about the processes responsible for the detrimental impact of adverse work experiences.

“…Research examining work-family conflict and couple relationship quality has produced somewhat inconsistent results; some studies reported quite strong associations (for example, Barling 1986;Barnett et al 2008;Beatty 1996;Minnotte et al 2014), whereas other samples found no significant relationship (e.g., Aryee 1993; Bakker et al 2009;Perrone and Worthington 2001). In addition, other than a few studies employing cross-cultural comparisons (e.g., Fackrell et al 2013;Hill et al 2004;Yang et al 2000) and a few other studies (e.g., Minnotte 2012), there has been very little research examining the nuances of this relationship by investigating how it might vary in different groups of people, such as parents/nonparents, single/dual earners, etc.…”

Work–Family Conflict and Couple Relationship Quality: A Meta-analytic Study

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study examined the association between work-family conflict and couple relationship quality. We conducted a meta-analytic review of 49 samples from 33 papers published between 1986 and 2014. The results indicated that there was a significant negative relationship between work-family conflict and couple relationship quality (r = -.19, k = 49). Several moderators were included in this analysis: gender, region, parental status, dual-earner status, and the measures used for work-family conflict and marital quality variables. The strength of the relationship varied based on the region of the samplesamples from Europe and Asia had a significantly weaker relationship between work-family conflict and relationship quality than those from North America. In addition, the relationship was significantly weaker in samples of dualearner couples and when non-standardized scales were used. Implications of the results and directions for future research are suggested.

“…evolves due to the family duties that obstruct the job duties while the other depicts the inhibition created between the work responsibilities and the family duties (Beutell, 2010;Kinnunen et al, 2010). The previous studies by Minnotte et al (2013); Minnotte et al (2015) show that the relationship between work and family is reciprocal due to W-FC, hence, the negative effect of work on family and the family in turn, affecting work negatively. Briefly, the outcome of previous studies have ascertained that W-FC is associated with increased sales targets, parental discomfort, slowing down of family contentment, job fulfilment and corporate assurance (Karatepe and Kilic, 2007;Lu et al, 2010).…”

This study attempts to examine the moderation effects of organisational supports in the relationships between Work Family Conflict (WFC) and Job Satisfaction (JS) / Family Work Conflict (FWC) and Job Satisfaction (JS). The collection of data from 303 respondents who are academicians of private universities in Bangladesh was with aid of the convenience sampling technique. Multi-group analysis with the adoption of the Covariance Based-Structural Equation Modelling (CB-SEM) technique was used to complete the analyse procedure for this study. The findings of this study have shown that both directions of W-FC have significant negative relationships with JS, but in terms of effects, only WFC has negative significant effects on JS. Furthermore, the outcome of this research also shows organisational supports do not moderate the relationships among WFC/FWC and job satisfaction. However, the theories (work family border theory and conservation of resource theory) have partially supported the outcomes of this study. In addition, practically, there is the enhancement of the human resource management and organisational behaviour literatures through the evaluation of the influences of WFC and FWC on job satisfaction. This study has only utillised organisational supports as the moderator but other supports from family are good in future research efforts. Contribution/ Originality: This study is unique in relation to the academicians in the developing nation with the need to enhance the organisational supports by the higher authorities to mitigate both directions of W-FC in order to improve job satisfactions in the universities. 1. INTRODUCTION Every individual's adult life is a function of two significant factors such as work and family, which involve a person saddled with various responsibilities that demand high level of time and energy. Consequently, the multiplicity of duties in relation to the earlier stated factors related to W-FC. Empirical studies have reflected the fact that a two-dimensional construct is entailed in explaining the W-FC: one dimension relates to conflict that
