These findings illustrate two important issues. First, it is important to consider the direction of interference (WFI versus FWI) when examining possible gender moderation effects. In the Grzywacz and Marks (2000) study, no systematic gender moderation effects were observed for family-to-work interference, which is inconsistent with the traditional gender role hypothesis (predicting that family and work characteristics would be more strongly associated with FWI among women than men), but some moderation effects were found for WFI.
Evidence from the United States studies consistently demonstrated that work demands, work-related stressors, and strain are predictive of work-to-family interference, whereas family responsibilities and stressors (such as conflict within the family) appear to contribute more directly to family-to-work interference (Frone, 2003). In addition, social support (in both domains) has been associated with reduced work-family conflict. , from partner or spouse) correlates more closely with reduced FWI.
Moderating effects of gender have been the focus of several research projects. , 1991) is that levels of work-to-family interference (WFI) will be greater for men than fo women, whereas family-to-work interference (FWI) will be greater among women than men. , job demands) will impinge more upon men's levels of WFI. These anticipated differences are sometimes explained in terms of asymmetrical boundaries between work and family for men and women (Pleck, 1977), which suggests that family factors will spill over into the job context more for women than for men, whereas the converse will be true for job-related factors.
