A longitudinal panel study on antecedents and outcomes of work-home interference Holger Steinmetz, Michael Frese, and Peter Schmidt University of Giessen / Germany
Introduction • Work-Home Interference (WHI): • A form of interrole-conflict in which the role pressures from the work and nonwork domain are mutually incompatible (Greenhaus & Beutell, 1985) • Work makes nonwork role performance more difficult (Katz & Kahn, 1964) • Work hinders nonwork role performance (Edwards & Rothbard, 2000) • Forms of WHI / conflict (Greenhaus & Beutell, 1985): • Time-based • Strain-based • Behavior-based
Antecedents and outcomes of WHI • Complex models of antecedents and outcomes of WHI (e.g., Carlson & Perrewé, 1999; Frone, et al., 1992; Frone, 1997; Kopelman, et al., 1983)
Antecedents and outcomes of WHI • Frone, M. R., Russel, M., & Cooper (1992)
Antecedents and outcomes of WHI: Meta-analytic results • Proposed antecedents (Byron, 2005): • Working time • Job stress • job involvement • Work support • Schedule flexibility • Family stress • Proposed outcomes (Allen et al., 2000): • Job attitudes (Job satisfaction, organizational commitment) • Well-being (Depression, burnout, somatic complaints etc.) • Turnover motivation • Job performance
Longitudinal studies on WHI • Heterogenous results because of • different time lags • a variety of constructs • Limitations: • Research focus: Mostly WHI well-being • Comprehensiveness of the causal analysis (cf. Zapf, Dorman & Frese, 1996): Half of the studies tested only one direction • Method: Mostly multiple Regression (Ordinary least squares) or path analysis

The study:Sample • Sample • Two waves – Time lag 1 year • Broad German Sample; a variety of occupations from various industries • Demographic variables representative for the German working population • T1: N = 365 • T2: N = 133 • Mean N = 188 across the cells of the covariance matrix • Drop out analysis: • Correlation between model variables and T2 dropout • Only signficant: r = .13 (for age) and r = .12 (for turnover motivation)
The study:Constructs and measures • Constructs and measures • Stressors (Zapf, 1991), 3 items for time pressures and 3 items for role ambiguity (e.g., „how often do you get unclear assignments?“ • Working time: Weekly working hours of the last 2 weeks • WHI (Netemeyer, et al., 1996); 3 items (e.g., „Things at home don‘t get done because of my work“) • Depression (Zung, 1965) adapted by Mohr (1986); 3 items (e.g., “I am looking into the future without any hope”) • Turnover motivation (Schaubroeck, et al., 1996): 3 items (Turnover cognitions, implementation behavior, and intention to quit)
