Abstract: | We used role theory to direct our analysis of the association between family-friendly policies, workplace environment, family
role quality, and positive spillover from family to work. Taking data from 104 dual-earner couples with children living in
Utah, we examined the influence of both partners’ access to family-friendly policies, both partners’ workplace environments, and the family role quality reported by the couple. We found that family role quality was
significantly associated with positive family-to-work spillover for men and women. In addition, women’s own workplace culture
and the ability of women’s partners to leave work to care for children were associated with women’s positive family-to-work
spillover. These findings were viewed through the lens of gender theory and traditionally structured institutions and roles. |
