This article uses a differential salience comparable salience approach to examine the effects of work demands and resources on work to family conflict and facilitation. The analysis is based on data from 1,938 employed adults living with a family member who were interviewed for the 1997 National Study of the Changing Workforce. The result support the differential salience approach by indicating that time and strainbased work demands show relatively strong positive relationships to worktofamily conflict, whereas enabling resources and psychological rewards show relatively strong positive relationships to work to family facilitation. The availability of timebased family support policies and workfamily organizational support is negatively related to conflict and positively related to facilitation, thereby supporting the comparable salience approach. |
