Editorial reading guide · Trust
Are work and family balance the same thing as having less conflict?
This reading brings different work-to-family and family-to-work pathways in a work-family balance model into the trust pathway. The time-lagged correlational worker survey offers a specific workplace lens on how employment and family life meet.
Study context
A sample of 568 workers in Italy
Age / stage: Working adults; children not directly assessed
Read with three questions
- How did the researchers define and assess conflict, enrichment, satisfaction and balance as separate constructs?
- What does the study design allow us to conclude about which directional hypotheses were and were not supported?
- What would need to be checked before adopting assessing both resources and demands in a workplace balance review?
Keep the limits in view
The time-lagged model was only partly supported and is observational; a single overall balance score can conceal different pathways.
