Over the past several decades, there has been considerable interest inthe theoretical causes of work–family conflict (WFC). Most studies havefocused on situational determinants, often ignoring the role of personalfactors such as disposition and heritable elements. We increase understandingof person versus situation influences on WFC through estimation of therelationship between role demands and WFC after controlling [Read More...]

The father’s and the mother’s intrinsic work motivation and their work‐to‐family conflict perceived by the adolescent: Dyadic and triadic analyses

Is behaving unethically for organizations a mixed blessing? A dual-pathway model for the work-to-family spillover effects of unethical pro-organizational behavior

This research examines the mixed work-to-family spillover effects of unethical pro-organizational behavior. Drawing on conservation of resources theory and the work–home resources model, we develop a dual-pathway model to explain such effects. Based on a three-wave field study involving 214 respondents in China, we find engagement in unethical pro-organizational behavior to be positively associated with [Read More...]

Drawing on the work-home resources model and the conservation of resources theory, the present study attempts to bridge this gap in the literature by exploring the relationship between [Read More...]
