Abstract
A model that links antecedents and job-related outcomes associated with work interfering with family and family interfering with work in Chinese enterprises was tested. Data collected from a sample of Chinese employees was analyzed using multiple regression analysis. Findings from this study were compared to findings from a previous study that utilized a sample of employees in the United States. Conclusions from this study support: (1) a reduction in work interfering with family for employees who have control over their work schedule, (2) an increase in work interfering with family for employees who perceive negative career consequences associated with exercising options to better manage work and family balance, and (3) an increase in stress as a result both of work interfering with family and of family interfering with work. Similarities and differences between the findings of this study and the U. S. study are discussed.
