Abstract
Understanding work and family role transition activities is very important as without knowing the mechanism, policymakers cannot design effective family-friendly programs. This research addressed two research questions: (a) Do work and family role stressors in the public sector have cross-domain effects? and (b) Does gender moderate the cross-domain effects? The Korea Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS) was used as a secondary data set to address these research questions. A random-effects model (i.e., a three-level hierarchical linear model) was used to take into account heterogeneity across families and individuals. Findings revealed that work role stressors such as monthly salary and working hours were positively related to life satisfaction, but family stressors were not significantly associated with job satisfaction, partially supporting the cross-domain effect. Furthermore, gender did not moderate the cross-domain effects.
