Work-family relationships are complex and multidimensional and remain
an important ongoing academic and social policy area that require
multidisciplinary and multi-level investigation and collaboration.
Growing out of research on inter-role conflict (Kahn et al, 1964)
historically work family research has tended to focus on
relationships between specific work and family variables and usually
from either a family focused or a work focused perspective. Here, the
debate continues with respect to the perceived ability of individuals
to control stressors stemming from these two domains. In their review
of 190 work-family studies published in IO/OB, Eby et al (2005:180)
note that, while there is a growing body of research to suggest that
work and family can positively influence one another, there is far
more that points to a negative spillover in terms of work-family
conflict.
Against this backdrop, there is an ongoing concern that progress in
the work family research area has been somewhat restricted and may
have failed to take sufficient account of the complexity of
work-family issues. Voydanoff (1988; 2005) calls for a better
reconceptualisation of the work family field (to include non-paid
work and non-traditional family structures) and better measures of
work-family fit and balance; Kossek & Ozeki (1998) similarly call for
more consistency and robustness in measurement, and better sampling
techniques; Barnett & Hyde (2001) call for new ways of thinking about
the work-family interface which Rotondo et al (2003) describe as a
permeable boundary; while Zedeck & Mosier (1990) & Frone (2003)
highlight developments in organizational strategies and policies for
promoting work-family balance at the individual and organizational
level. Moreover, there appears to be a dearth of research that
focuses on the larger macro societal level within which work and
family domains exist and which can play a highly influential role in
the work-family interface.
Adopting a multi-level perspective encompassing social,
organizational and individual perspectives, this Special Issue of the
Journal of Managerial Psychology seeks conceptual papers, empirical
papers, case studies and critical commentaries focusing on, but not
limited to, the following topics:
Theoretical frameworks used to explain work-family linkages;
Social, demographics and work-family issues (e.g., sandwiched
generation, work-family issues across the life span);
Organizational supports for work-family assistance including
organizational responsiveness, strategies and policies aimed at
balancing work and family;
Definitional and measurement dilemmas within work and family
regarding boundaries of work (e.g., traditional, virtual, telework)
and family diversity (e.g., singles, traditional two parent, blended,
adoptive, single parents and so forth);
Work-family interaction including work-family
conflict/work-non-work conflict; predictors, consequences and
influence of work-family conflict;
Health and wellness including general well-being, work related
psychological wellness (burnout and adjustment) and spillover effects
of role stress;
Career and job-related outcomes including work attitudes,
performance, withdrawal and disengagement;
Gender and diversity in work-family interactions including
work-family conflict, stress, career outcomes, work attitudes and
values.
