The Interrelationships among Core-Self Evaluation, Coping, Work-Family Conflict, and Job/Family Satisfaction: A Cognitive Framework of the Work-Family Interface

摘要

This study asserted that work-family conflict (WFC) is a self-evaluation process involving Individuals' evaluation of core self (CSE) and environmental resources. In addition, coping behavior is based on an evaluation of the urgency of an incident. People cope according to their cognition of the environment of which this cognition is influenced by their own personality traits. This cognition elicits different levels of WFC and then forms the best coping behavior to accomplish work and family satisfaction. As a result of proposing a conceptual framework based on the bidirectional interrole conflict, roles player's CSE, coping strategies, and job/family satisfaction, insights are also provided into the cognitive nature of WFC. The relevant propositions detailing possible causal relationships are discussed.
