Article: Flexible Work Arrangements Availability and their Relationship with Work‐to‐Family Conflict, Job Satisfaction, and Turnover Intentions: A Comparison of Three Country Clusters
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The present study explored the availability of flexible work arrangements (FWA) and their relationship with manager outcomes of job satisfaction, turnover intentions, and work-to-family conflict (WFC) across country clusters. We used individualism and collectivism to explain differences in FWA availability across Latin American, Anglo, and Asian clusters. Managers from the Anglo cluster were more likely to report working in organisations that offer FWA compared to managers from other clusters. For Anglo managers, flextime was the only FWA that had significant favorable relationships with the outcome variables. For Latin Americans, part-time work negatively related with turnover intentions and strain-based WFC. For Asians, flextime was unrelated to time-based WFC, and telecommuting was positively associated with strain-based WFC. The clusters did not moderate the compressed work week and outcome relationships. Implications for practitioners adopting FWA practices across cultures are discussed.Applied Psychology 12/2011; 61(1):1 - 29. · 1.52 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: A study of work interference with family (WIF) among managers is described, contrasting four clusters of countries, one of which is individualistic (Anglo) and three of which are collectivistic (Asia, East Europe, and Latin America). Country cluster (Anglo vs. each of the others) moderated the relation of work demands with strain-based WIF, with the Anglo country cluster having the strongest relationships. Country cluster moderated some of the relationships of strain-based WIF with both job satisfaction and turnover intentions, with Anglos showing the strongest relationships. Cluster differences in domestic help were ruled out as the possible explanation for these moderator results.Personnel Psychology 11/2007; 60(4):805 - 835. · 2.93 Impact Factor -
Article: Cross-National Differences in Relationships of Work Demands with Work-Family Conflict
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A comparative study of work-family conflict among managers is described contrasting a group of five Anglo countries with three clusters of five countries each that are considered collectivist by nature, that is, Asia, East Europe and Latin America. Results showed that cluster (Anglo vs. each of the others) moderated the relation of working hours with time-based work-family conflict, and the relation of workload with strain-based and time-based work-family conflict. In all cases Anglos showed stronger statistical effects. In all but two cases (Anglo versus Asia with workload and both work-family conflict types) these moderators could not be attributed to family size, domestic help provided by extended family or neighbors, or by paid domestic help. Differences in mean work-family conflict were quite small among clusters, accounting for less than one percent of variance. No Yes
