Research Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of work-life balance in the relationship between job stress and worker well-being as individual factors. Literature review and cross-sectional and longitudinal studies confirmed the health impairment process (i.e., job demands→work-to-family conflict→ill-health) and the motivational process (i.e., job resources→work-to-family positive spillover→motivation). Crossover effects of ill-health and motivation between husbands and wives among dual-earner couples were also confirmed.
