Toward An Understanding Of The Link Between Work-Family Enrichment And Health, Misti Stoddard, Susan R. Madsen

Susan R. Madsen

Decades of research have focused on the negative impact multiple roles can have on workplaces and homes. Little attention has been given to the individual benefits that may result from simultaneous participation in these roles. Fortunately, a recent construct (i.e., work-family enrichment) has emerged which considers positive influences that one domain (i.e., work, family) has on another. This study utilized the 18-item Carlson et al. (2005) scale to study work-to-family enrichment, health, and selected demographics.
