Relationships between characteristics of the job, work/family interference, and marital outcomes

The present study investigates the relationships among characteristics of work, interference between work and family life, and marital adjustment. It proposes that the primary mechanisms by which jobs affect family life are practical difficulties in coordinating job and family roles and job induced negative psychological mood states. Thus, the study examines the extent to which the direct links between job characteristics and family outcomes are moderated by these two processes
