Andy
Scharlach and Karen Fredriksen-Goldsen on Family Care and the
Workplace :
Family and
work are central to the lives of most Americans. Yet the process
of integrating the demands of our families
and our jobs remains a source of stress and continual accommodation
for many. And while the societal balance between work and family
is apt to change dramatically as a result of transformations in
the age and ethnic structure of the population, the composition
of the family, and the nature of work, our findings (based on
a survey of employees at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories) suggest
that workers continue to have extensive family care responsibilities.
These family responsibilities are quite diverse, differing by
types of generational care, by family composition, and by care
arrangements. While family and work constitute a reciprocal dynamic
relationship, impacted by demands and available resources in both
domains overall, demands far exceed resources in their salience
for role strain and other employee and family outcomes.
