This chapter considers the effects of nonwork crises on the work–family interface. Drawing from Crisis Theory (Caplan, 1961, 1964), we develop a framework to understand how crisis events may affect work and family life over time. In so doing, we examine the short- and long-term work–family outcomes of crisis, and consider potential moderators of the associations between the experience of a crisis event and these outcomes. Next, we apply the framework to a number of exemplar nonwork crises internal and external to the individual and family, including addiction, relationship loss, natural disasters, and military deployment. We conclude by identifying research priorities related to understanding work and family in times of crisis.

Exposure to stressors during military deployment puts veterans at risk for reduced post-military quality of life. Stress-related mental health problems may lead to decreased well-being within work and family domains, yet few studies have explored associations in the context of gender. We examined relationships between deployment stressors and post-military functioning and satisfaction in the domains of work and family, with a focus on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and alcohol misuse symptomatology as potential mediators. Participants included 522 male and female Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans assessed longitudinally. Structural equation models supported several direct and indirect pathways linking deployment stressors to work and family outcomes for both men and women. PTSD had an important role in these associations. Depression also played a significant role, particularly for women. These findings build on prior research by elucidating potential gender-specific risk, which may be applied to better tailor services to veterans’ unique needs.

This chapter demonstrates the importance of organizational leadership in managing the work–family interface. Though researchers have only recently turned to leadership theory to explain employees’ work–family outcomes, the integration of leadership theory provides a richer understanding of how the work–family interface is navigated. In discussing leadership’s impact on the work–family experience, the roles of executive-level leaders, mid-level management, and immediate supervisors are considered. The value of aligning and coordinating work–family support across all levels of organizational leadership is emphasized in order to yield the best work–family outcomes for employees. The chapter concludes with practical strategies for building organizational work–family support, a discussion of the advantages of integrating leadership theory and work–family research, and directions for future research examining work–family experiences and leadership from multiple levels.

AbstractThis special brings together innovative and multidisciplinary research (sociology, economics, and social work) using data from across Europe and the US to examine the potential flexible working has on the gender division of labour and workers’ work–life balance. Despite numerous studies on the gendered outcomes of flexible working, it is limited in that the majority is based on qualitative studies based in the US. The papers of this special issue overcome some of the limitations by examining the importance of context, namely, family, organisational and country context, examining the intersection between gender and class, and finally examining the outcomes for different types of flexible working arrangements. The introduction to this special issue provides a review of the existing literature on the gendered outcomes of flexible working on work life balance and other work and family outcomes, before presenting the key findings of the articles of this special issue. The results of the studies show that gender matters in understanding the outcomes of flexible working, but also it matters differently in different contexts. The introduction further provides policy implications drawn from the conclusions of the studies and some thoughts for future studies to consider.

The Impact

Work–life scholars emphasize the need for cross-national studies in order to understand the variety of ways in which people experience the work–life interface across the world. Within this chapter an overview is given of national work–family policies present in Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries and the changes in policy that occurred across time. This is followed by a review of research that examines the impact of national policies on work–family outcomes. Research on this topic is increasing but scarce. Research to date suggests that policies are beneficial for the general contentment of working parents with the way they are able to combine work and family life, but are less effective in reducing experienced work–family conflict or time pressure.
