Working-family evidence

Editorial reading guide · Respect
Are off-hours messages experienced equally by everyone?
This reading brings off-hours technology-assisted work, conflict, enrichment and supervisory coaching into the respect pathway. The cross-sectional worker survey with gender-group modeling offers a specific workplace lens on how employment and family life meet.
Study context
671 workers completing a self-report questionnaire
Age / stage: Working adults; 319 men and 352 women
Read with three questions
- How did the researchers define and assess technology-assisted supplemental work and coaching?
- What does the study design allow us to conclude about gender-group comparisons in conflict and enrichment pathways?
- What would need to be checked before adopting expectations about using work technology during leisure time?
Keep the limits in view
Convenience sampling and cross-sectional self-reports cannot establish that technology use causes gender differences or family outcomes.
