This study deepens our theoretical and practical understanding of work-family balance, defined as the 'accomplishment of role-related expectations that are negotiated and shared between an individual and his/her role-related partners in the work and family domains' (Grzywacz & Carlson, 2007: 458). We develop a new measure of work-family balance and establish discriminant validity between it, work-family conflict, and work-family enrichment. Further, we examine the relationship of work-family balance with six key work and family outcomes. Results suggest that balance explains variance beyond that explained by traditional measures of conflict and enrichment for five of six outcomes tested: job satisfaction, organizational commitment, family satisfaction, family performance, and family functioning. We conclude with a discussion of the applications of our work.
本研究深化了我们对工作与家庭平衡的理论和实践理解，工作与家庭平衡被定义为“个人与其在工作和家庭领域中与角色相关的伙伴协商并共享的与角色相关期望的达成”（格里瓦茨和卡尔森，2007：458）。我们开发了一种新的工作与家庭平衡测量方法，并确立了它与工作-家庭冲突及工作-家庭充实感之间的判别效度。此外，我们考察了工作与家庭平衡与六个关键工作和家庭结果之间的关系。结果表明，对于所测试的六个结果中的五个：工作满意度、组织承诺、家庭满意度、家庭绩效和家庭功能，平衡所解释的方差超出了传统冲突和充实感测量方法所解释的方差。我们最后讨论了我们研究成果的应用。
