The Promise and Price of Challenging Work
Challenging work—characterized by opportunities for skill development, task variety, learning new things, and creativity—is widely considered a valuable job resource and a cornerstone of higher-status occupations. Yet, less is known about the health-related trade-offs that may accompany this key dimension of job quality. Drawing on five waves of panel data from the Canadian Work, Stress, and Health Study (2011–2019), this study examines the promi…
Blurred lines in the work-family interface? Contingencies in the link between role blurring and work-to-family conflict
The ways that workers navigate and configure the boundaries between their work and nonwork life reflect a key part in their pursuit of work-life balance. Role blurring – the extent to which workers engage in work-related tasks, thoughts, or communication outside of work – is especially critical in this context. While research has examined the impact of role blurring on work-to-family conflict, the empirical evidence is mixed. The present study se…
Is Multitasking a Crossover Stressor? The Spillover and Crossover Dynamics of Spousal Work-family Multitasking and Its Link to Psychological Distress
Research has well-established the spillover effects of work-family conflict on health along with its crossover effects on other family members. However, no study to my knowledge has examined the crossover effects of spousal work-family multitasking on their partner’s mental health. This study seeks to advance research by documenting the relationship between perceptions of spousal work-family multitasking and the respondents’ psychological distres…
Working from home and role blurring
Unequal Upsides? The Status-Based Inequalities in the Relationship Between Schedule Control and Job Pressure
Sociologists have long identified job pressure as a central work-related stressor with far-reaching consequences for workers' well-being, their families, and organizations. However, surprisingly little empirical work examines how schedule control influences job pressure in a longitudinal framework-or the status-based contingencies in the resource functions of schedule control. Drawing on five waves of population-level panel data from the Canadian…
A Forced Vacation? The Stress of Being Temporarily Laid Off During a Pandemic
A million Canadian workers suddenly became temporarily laid off (TLO) early into the pandemic. How did this affect mental health? Guided by the Stress Process Model (SPM), we would expect that this job disruption should increase psychological distress. However, given the unique context surrounding the early period of the pandemic, we advance the forced vacation hypothesis, which argues that those who became TLO would-at least initially-report low…
Did perceptions of supportive work–life culture change during the Covid ‐19 pandemic
Objective: This article examines whether perceptions of supportive work-life culture changed during the COVID-19 pandemic-and if that depended on (1) working from home; (2) children in the household; and (3) professional status. We test for gender differences across the analyses. Background: During normal times, the "ideal worker" is expected to prioritize the demands of their job and is penalized for attending to family/personal needs while on c…
With Greater Power Comes Greater Stress? Authority, Supervisor Support, and Work‐Family Strains
Objective This study investigates how status gains in job authority over time are related to three work‐ and family‐related stressors: job pressure, role blurring, and work‐to‐family conflict. Background Family scholars have long been interested in identifying work conditions as sources of change and stress in family life. Sociologists have devoted much effort in understanding the consequences of stratification for stress exposure—especially for …

Work-Life Conflict During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic upended work, family, and social life. These massive changes may have created shifts in exposure to work-life conflict. Using a national survey that followed Canadian workers from September 2019 into April and June 2020, the authors find that work-life conflict decreased among those with no children at home. In contrast, for those with children at home, the patterns depended on age of youngest child. Among in…
Controlling or Channeling Demands? How Schedule Control Influences the Link Between Job Pressure and the Work-Family Interface
Schedule control is theorized as a job resource that should reduce the extent to which work demands bleed into nonwork time and decrease work-to-family conflict. However, schedule control might also come with greater expectations that workers fully devote themselves to work even during non-conventional work times; in this scenario, schedule control might act as a channel through which job demands can more easily permeate nonwork roles and generat…
The Status Dynamics of Role Blurring in the Time of Covid-19
Has the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic altered the status dynamics of role blurring? Although researchers typically investigate its conflictual aspects, the authors assess if the work-home interface might also be a source of status-and the relevance of schedule control in these processes. Analyzing data from nationally representative samples of workers in September 2019 and March 2020, the authors find that role blurring is associated with ele…
When Family Calls
The fluid boundaries between work and family life and the dynamic ways these domains are shaped by communication technology represent an important area in work-family research. However, surprisingly little is known about how family contact at work affects functioning in the work role-especially how these dynamics may change and unfold over time. Drawing on longitudinal data from the Canadian Work, Stress, and Health Study (2011-2017), the present…
Control and the Health Effects of Work-Family Conflict
The stress associated with work-to-family conflict (WFC) and family-to-work conflict (FWC) is well documented. However, surprisingly little is known about the resources that moderate the effects of work-family conflict on health over time. Using four waves of panel data from the Canadian Work, Stress, and Health Study (2011-2017; n = 11,349 person-wave observations), we compare how a core psychosocial resource (personal mastery) and a salient org…
