| Abstract: | The aim of this research is to examine severaldimensions of nonwork domains such as nonwork-to-workspillover, work/nonwork conflict, coping strategies, andorganizational support for nonwork, and their relationship to withdrawal cognitions.Questionnaires were mailed to all employees of a schooldistrict in western Canada. A total of 300 usablequestionnaires were returned: a response rate of 42%. The findings show that nonwork domain variables aresignificantly related to withdrawal cognitions. This wasdemonstrated mainly in two strong interaction effectsbetween the importance of nonwork and personal coping strategies on the one hand, and betweenthe importance of nonwork and perceived organizationalsupport for nonwork on the other. The two interactionsremain significant when two work variables, i.e., organizational commitment and job satisfaction,were entered into the regression as control variables.The paper concludes with proposed directions for futureresearch based on the findings of this present work. |
