Employee health and well-being after a crisis - re-imagining the role of workplace inclusion
Covid-19 left many employees with life-altering challenges— deaths or illnesses of loved ones, health problems, and economic upheavals. Even during ordinary years, adverse events affect around 50% of employees, exacerbating work/non-work demands and depleting personal resources. In order to identify supports for employee recovery from the pandemic and similar crises, we examine inclusive relational practices. Drawing on a conservation-of-resource…

Workplace flexibility
The inception of When Work Works – a theoretical- and research-based model of change in promoting effective and flexible workplaces – dates back to the confluence of a number of factors in the early 1990s. One decade later, this 'perfect storm' of factors led to the creation of When Work Works, and two decades later, to this critical assessment of the foundation for and results of this model of change. When Work Works has used partnerships with n…

An eco-behavioral approach to examining the contextual effects of early childhood classrooms
Child Care Caregiver Sensitivity and Attachment
Changes in child care caregivers’ sensitivity and in children’s attachment security were examined in three studies. Study one involved 55 children enrolled in community based child care. There was no intervention in these sites. Caregiver responsive involvement and children’s attachment security did not change over time or when children changed caregivers. Study two involved 71 toddler age children enrolled in family child care homes. The caregiv…
Does training make a difference to quality in family child care
The Role of Employers in Addressing the Needs of Employed Parents
This paper examines life on and off the job for a nationally representative sample of 2958 wage and salaried workers, comparing the situations of parent and nonparent employees within the sample. Although parent and nonparent employees were found to be quite similar in most respects, some notable differences were revealed—in the value they place on different benefits and workplace policies; in the extent of the sacrifices they have made in their …
Work experiences and marital interactions
Previous research suggests that work experiences affect family interactions and family processes but does not adequately specify the job characteristics that influence such family‐level outcomes. This study examines relationships between the quality of marital interactions and a range of job characteristics including the level of enrichment provided by the job, job time demands, job pressure, schedule flexibility, and job insecurity. The sample c…
Gender, Job and Family Conditions, and Psychological Symptoms
This study examined the hypothesis that gender differences in psychological distress are mediated by job and family role conditions. Previous research has failed to directly test such mediational hypotheses but rather has inferred effects of role conditions from simple role-occupancy variables. The sample consisted of full-time employed married respondents including 161 women with full-time employed spouses, 142 men with nonemployed spouses, and …
The Effects of Job Characteristics on Marital Quality
Trends in Corporate Family-Supportive Policies
This article describes Phase I and Phase II in the development of corporate work/family policies. During Phase I, some companies began to become aware of work/family issues and to investigate the needs of their employees. They began to implement a broad range of family-supportive policies. Phase II is characterized by an increase in the number and type of companies involved. Collaborative efforts and a greater government role are evident. In Phas…
The Impact of Human Resource Policies on Employees
Using a number of empirical studies of human resource policies in Fortune 500 companies, this article focuses on (a) the major work/family problems faced by employees, (b) how work/family programs affect productivity, (c) what trends are emerging among companies, and (d) how a subsample of leading scientific companies and universities are responding to work/family issues. The seven major issues employees face are examined: child care, elder care,…
