Abstract

Decades of studies on the work-family interface and the preponderance of literature make it rather ambiguous to find a future direction for research. While only in the past decade technology and generational cohorts have been studied concerning the work-family interface. Millennials, the youngest generational cohort in the workforce with the maximum potential for technology use, have seldom been analysed. This article attempted to draw propositions from existing literature and arguments, considering work-family conflict and negative outcomes concerning technology use and generational cohorts.
