Resumo(s)
Challenging the assumption that work and family are incompatible, a growing
body of studies focuses the positive relationships between these two roles. The present
research is an exploratory study aimed at examining whether work characteristics
(flexible supervision, job-loss risk and work satisfaction) are associated with workfamily facilitation (WFF) and enable positive family outcomes (couple constructive
problem solving and lower levels of family stress). Using data from the EU FamWork
Project (Portuguese Employees N = 306), this study examined work-family facilitation
models in male and female full-time employees with young children.
Results indicated that flexible supervision has a direct effect on work-family
facilitation and job security has an indirect effect (via work satisfaction) on work-family
facilitation, only for female employees. Results also offered support for the relation
between work-family facilitation and positive familial outcomes (couple constructive
problem solving and lower levels of family stress) for women. Men´s model was very
modest and only flexible supervision was a predictor of work-to-family facilitation.
Furthermore, no relations between work-to-family facilitation and positive individual
outcomes were found in men´s group. Gender variations in the models suggest the
importance of this variable for future work-to-family facilitation research agenda.
