The Effects of Work on Family Life: A Review and Analysis of the Literature

Abstract

There are three major streams of research especially relevant to the examination of the interrelationships between work and family: research conducted within the spillover/compensation framework, literature on dual career couples, and research on the experience of work/family conflict, which is the most directly relevant and broadly applicable to the interests of the Army in this area. However, several conceptual and methodological weaknesses are apparent in this approach. Suggestions for enhancing the utility of the work/family conflict approach are presented, along with a preliminary conceptual framework for the investigation of the effects of work in family. Keywords: Interpersonal relations, Job satisfaction, Attitudes(Psychology).
