| dc.description | The interdependence between work and family calls for a more systemic paradigm underlying the study of the linkage between them. Much of the stress research has proceeded as though these two spheres were separate and non-interactive domains leaving a fragmented view of a person's work and family life. Attempts at reconciliation have been tentative. In this research, a fully integrative and comprehensive model of work and family stress was proposed and tested on a large sample (N = 205) of health care providers. The proposed stress paradigm incorporated both positive and negative antecedents and consequences. The model comprised of parallel measures of stress and resources in the two domains, and assessed both domain-specific experiences and more global outcomes, such as physiological and affective symptomatology. The hypothesized comprehensive model, and alternative and contrasting models were tested using various multivariate statistical techniques, including multiple regression and path analysis. There was overwhelming support for the main (versus moderating) effect of resources. There was evidence of the mediating effects of domain-specific, subjective experiences in the path between both demands and resources and global outcomes. The proposed Integration Model provided a good fit of the data, and depicted processes of segmentation and spill-over. The analysis indicated some spill-over relationships diminished when considered simultaneously with domain-specific relationships, and vice versa. This model also differed significantly from competing alternative models. The discussion argues that inclusion of family variables in occupational stress models has significance in developing policies to counter stress in the workplace. | en_US |
