Abstract: | We report a meta-analytic examination of the value of five facets of family-friendly work environments (FFWEs) in reducing
work/family conflict (WFC). Cumulation of 38 studies (total N = 13,605) suggests that facets of FFWE may provide less assistance
to workers in managing WFC than one may hope, as none explained more than seven percent of the variance in WFC. A family-friendly
work culture seems most influential in reducing WFC. Importantly, spousal support and FFWEs explain different portions of
variance in WFC, suggesting that FFWEs are uniquely valuable to workers in achieving work/ family balance. Implications for
research and practice are discussed.
When authors reported separate correlations for different subgroups (e.g., males and females), samples, administrations (as
in a longitudinal study), or measures of the same construct, those correlations were examined separately. The studies included
in this meta-analysis are listed in the references prefixed with an asterisk. |
