dc.description.abstractIn this study, a model that draws upon the Resource-Demand perspective, Karasek' s Job Demands-Control theory and Role theory was developed to understand the determinants of work-to-family and work-to-parent conflict. Hypotheses about the effects of work and family demands and resources and gender, were tested using secondary data from 646 Alberta lawyers. Results suggest that work domain variables are important for understanding work-to-family conflict. While family demands did not significantly contribute to work-to-family conflict, family resources such as paid help with childcare and housework, were important in moderating the harmful effects of work and family demands on work-to-family conflict. The model was less successful in explaining work-to-parent conflict and it was proposed that work-to-parent conflict may be better understood as an outcome of work-to-family conflict. More research is needed to investigate this possibility, as well as to understand why women experience more work-to-family and work-to-parent conflict than men.
