Resilience During Disruption: A Cross-National Examination of the WorkFamily Interface

Resilience During Disruption: A Cross-National Examination of the WorkFamily Interface We examine the work–family interactions of working parents facing the unique demands caused by the disruptions of the global health pandemic. Using the tenets of work–home resource theory, we study how contextual demands, resources, and psychological resilience interact to affect work–family conflict, stress, and psychological well-being in the United States and India. We tested two-way and three-way interactions between work/family demands, resources, and psychological resilience on work–family conflict. A three-way interaction between work demands, resources, and resilience was found to be a significant factor in dealing with work–family challenges posed by COVID-19 pandemic in both India and United States. We also found that while COVID-19-related disruptions caused similar outcomes, there were some cross-national differences in how working parents experienced it. Research and practical implications of the findings are discussed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png International Journal of Stress Management American Psychological Association

Abstract

We examine the work–family interactions of working parents facing the unique demands caused by the disruptions of the global health pandemic. Using the tenets of work–home resource theory, we study how contextual demands, resources, and psychological resilience interact to affect work–family conflict, stress, and psychological well-being in the United States and India. We tested two-way and three-way interactions between work/family demands, resources, and psychological resilience on work–family conflict. A three-way interaction between work demands, resources, and resilience was found to be a significant factor in dealing with work–family challenges posed by COVID-19 pandemic in both India and United States. We also found that while COVID-19-related disruptions caused similar outcomes, there were some cross-national differences in how working parents experienced it. Research and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
