This theory implies that life is concerned mainly with two separate spheres: productive life which happens in the workplace and affective life which occurs at home. Structural functionalism theory believes in the existence of radical separation between work (institution, workplace, or market) and families. According to this theory, these two (workplace and family) work best "when men and women specialize their activities in separate spheres, women at home doing expressive work and men in the workplace performing instrumental tasks" (Kingsbury & Scanzoni, 1993; as cited in MacDermid, 2005:18). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Greedy_institutions">Greedy institutions</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Work%E2%80%93life_balance&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Greedy institutions"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>It has been argued that the work–family conflicts, in particular role conflicts, can be interpreted in terms of <a href="/wiki/Lewis_A._Coser" title="Lewis A.

Although these two forms of conflict—WFC and FWC—are strongly <a href="/wiki/Correlation" title="Correlation">correlated</a> with each other, more attention has been directed at WFC. This may because family demands are more elastic than the boundaries and responsibilities of the work role. Also, <a href="/wiki/Research" title="Research">research</a> has found that work roles are more likely to interfere with family roles than family roles are likely to interfere with work role.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Allen, Herst, Bruck, and Sutton (2000)<sup id="cite_ref-:0_6-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> describe in their paper three categories of consequences related to WFC: work-related outcomes (e.g., <a href="/wiki/Job_satisfaction" title="Job satisfaction">job satisfaction</a> or job performance), nonwork-related outcomes (e.g., life or family satisfaction), and stress-related outcomes (e.g., <a href="/wiki/Depression_(mood)" title="Depression (mood)">depression</a> or <a href="/wiki/Substance_abuse" title="Substance abuse">substance abuse</a>).

Likewise, Pal and Saksvik (2008) also did not detect specific cultural differences between employees from <a href="/wiki/Norway" title="Norway">Norway</a> and India. Nevertheless, more cross-cultural research is needed to understand the cultural dimensions of the WFC construct. </p><p>The research concerning <a href="/wiki/Intervention_(counseling)" title="Intervention (counseling)">interventions</a> to reduce WFC is currently still very limited. As an exception, Nielson, Carlson, and Lankau (2001)<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> showed that having a <a href="/wiki/Peer_support" title="Peer support">supportive</a> <a href="/wiki/Mentor" class="mw-redirect" title="Mentor">mentor</a> on the job correlates negatively with the employee's WFC. However, other functions of mentoring, like the role model aspect, appear to have no effect on WFC. Therefore, the mechanisms how having a mentor influences the work–family interface remain unclear. </p><p>In terms of primary and secondary intervention there are some results. Hammer, Kossek, Anger, Bodner, and Zimmerman (2011)<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> conducted a field study and showed that training <a href="/wiki/Supervisor" title="Supervisor">supervisors</a> to show more family supportive behavior, led to increased physical <a href="/wiki/Health" title="Health">health</a> in employees that were high in WFC. At the same time, employees having low WFC scores even decreased in physical health. This shows that even though interventions can help, it is important to focus on the right persons. Otherwise, the intervention damages more than it helps. </p><p>Another study (Wilson, Polzer-Debruyne, Chen, & Fernandes, 2007)<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> showed that training employees helps to reduce <a href="/wiki/Shift_work" title="Shift work">shift work</a> related WFC. Additionally, this training is more effective, if the partner of the focal person is also participating. Therefore, integrating the family into the intervention seems to be helpful too. </p><p>There are various additional factors that might influence the effectiveness of WFC interventions. For example, some interventions seem more adequate to reduce family-to-work conflict (FWC) than WFC (Hammer et al., 2011).

Examples are that resources (e.g., positive <a href="/wiki/Mood_(psychology)" title="Mood (psychology)">mood</a>) gained in one role lead to better functioning in the other role (Sieber, 1974)<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> or <a href="/wiki/Skill" title="Skill">skills</a> and <a href="/wiki/Attitude_(psychology)" title="Attitude (psychology)">attitudes</a> that are acquired in one role are useful in the other role (Crouter, 1984).<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Conceptually, enrichment between work and family is bi-directional. Most researchers make the distinction between what is termed work–family enrichment, and what is termed family–work enrichment. Work–family enrichment occurs, when ones involvement in work provides skills, behaviors, or positive mood which influences the family life in a positive way. Family-work enrichment, however, occurs when ones involvement in the family domain results in positive <a href="/wiki/Mood_(psychology)" title="Mood (psychology)">mood</a>, feeling of success or support that help individuals to <a href="/wiki/Coping_(psychology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Coping (psychology)">cope</a> better with problems at work, feel more confident and in the end being more productive at work (Wayne, et al., 2004). </p><p>Several <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/antecedent" class="extiw" title="wikt:antecedent">antecedents</a> of work–family enrichment have been proposed. <a href="/wiki/Trait_theory" title="Trait theory">Personality traits</a>, such as <a href="/wiki/Extraversion" class="mw-redirect" title="Extraversion">extraversion</a> and <a href="/wiki/Openness_to_experience" title="Openness to experience">openness for experience</a> have been shown to be positively related to work–family enrichment (Wayne et al., 2004). Next to individual antecedents, organizational circumstances such as resources and skills gained at work foster the occurrence of work–family enrichment (Voydanoff, 2004).<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For example, abilities such as interpersonal communication skills are learned at work and may then facilitate constructive communication with family members at home. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_role_of_organization_and_supervisor">The role of organization and supervisor</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Work%E2%80%93life_balance&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: The role of organization and supervisor"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Research has focused especially on the role of the organization and the supervisor in the reduction of WFC. Results provide evidence for the negative association between the availability of family friendly resources provided by the work place and WFC. General support by the organization aids the employees to deal with work family issues so that organizational support is negatively connected to WFC (Kossek, Pichler, Bodner, & Hammer, 2011).<sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Furthermore, Kossek et al. (2011) showed that work family specific support has a stronger negative connection with work family conflict. Interesting results by other researchers show that family friendly organizational culture also has an indirect effect on WFC via supervisor support and coworker support (Dolcoy & Daley, 2009).<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Surprisingly, some research also shows that the utilization of provided resources such as child care support or flexible work hours has no longitudinal connection with WFC (Hammer, Neal, Newson, Brockwood, & Colton, 2005).<sup id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This result speaks against common assumptions. Also, the supervisor has a social-support function for his/her subordinates. As Moen and Yu (2000)<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> showed supervisor support is an indicator for lower levels of WFC. Further support for this hypothesis stems from a study conducted by Thompson and Prottas (2005).<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Keeping in mind the support function, organizations should provide trainings for the supervisors and conduct the selection process of new employees. Similar as for organizational support, the meta-analysis by Kossek et al. (2011) showed that general supervisor is negatively connected to WFC. Again, work–family-specific supervisor support has a stronger negative connection with WFC. Aside from support by the organization and the supervisor, research points out a third source of work-place support: The coworker. The informal support by the coworker not only correlates with positive aspects such as job satisfaction, but is also negatively associated with negative variables such as WFC (Dolcos & Doley, 2009; Thompson & Prottas, 2005). </p><p>In terms of work–family enrichment, supervisors and organizations are also relevant, since they are able to provide with important resource (e.g., skills and financial benefits) and positive affect. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Research_methods">Research methods</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Work%E2%80%93life_balance&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Research methods"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A methodological review by Casper, Eby, Bordeaux, Lockwood, and Lambert (2007)<sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> summarizes the research methods used in the area of work–family research from 1980 to 2003.
