The Moderating Role Of Social Exchange In The Relationship Between Work-Family Backlash And Injustice, Joel Hernandez
The Moderating Role Of Social Exchange In The Relationship Between Work-Family Backlash And Injustice, Joel Hernandez
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
In consideration of an employee’s wellbeing, both the government and organizations are providing additional work-family benefits to employees to reduce work-family conflicts. Though there are good intentions with these policies, it is important to investigate how employees react to these policies and the utilization of those benefits. One reaction of interest is work-family backlash (WFB), which includes negative emotions, attitudes, and behaviors made by both individuals and groups directed towards multiple forms of work-life benefits practices and policies (Perrigino et al., 2018; Young, 1999). In this paper I draw from the multifoci approach of organizational justice (Lavelle et al., 2007) …

The Role Of Interrole Transitioning In The Conflict And Enrichment Of Work And Family, John Paul Agosta
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This study focuses on how full-time, sandwiched workers (i.e., those who are dual-caregivers, providing care to both their children and elders) experience interrole transitioning from both the work and family roles, and tests whether affective reactions to transitioning relate to work and family outcomes. This study has three specific objectives: 1) assess the extent to which bi-directional interrole transitioning (i.e., the switching between two different roles while located in one role) predicts bi-directional work-family conflict; 2) examine if interrole transitioning relates to bi-directional work-family enrichment in this population, and 3) test whether or not employees’ affective reactions to interrole transitioning …
Culture, Elder-Care, Interrole Transitions, And Work-Family Conflict : A U.S.-Chinese Comparison, John Paul Agosta
Culture, Elder-Care, Interrole Transitions, And Work-Family Conflict : A U.S.-Chinese Comparison, John Paul Agosta
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This study provides an exploratory cross-cultural comparison of the role of culture, elder-care demands, and interrole transitions within the work-family conflict context. The two main research questions were focused on how eldercare demands relate to familial collectivism, and how these two constructs related to interrole transitions. One sample from the U.S. (n= 820) and one sample from China (n= 685) were obtained via online survey panels and compared on the same variables. The findings were for the most part similar for China and America overall, and mediation analyses indicated a relationship between elder-care demands and work-family conflict through family-to-work transitioning …
