Abstract
This study uses the demands-resources model as the theoretical framework for investigating the effect of work hours, work at home, and job demands on the work-family interface. Additionally, potential resources provided by the organization were evaluated as moderators. A questionnaire was administered to full-time workers with at least one dependent child at home. The moderators investigated included family supportive organizational perceptions, family friendly benefits, and flexible work arrangements, were evaluated. The criteria were work-family conflict, family-work conflict and work-family balance. Based on the regression analyses, family supportive organizational perceptions moderated the relationship between job demands and work-family conflict, and flexible work arrangements moderated the relationship between work at home and work-family balance. These results indicate that organizations can help employees reduce conflict and increase balance by offering informal benefits or those that allow the employee to choose how to fulfill work and family roles.
