Abstract

The work-family restrictions, a new construct to extend work-life balance, developed from the social harm of sustainable work perspective to explain work-related exhaustion that constrains employees to improve family domain specific wellbeing outcomes. The five-sample (total N = 1169) scale validation and hypotheses testing studies attempt to reveal the three-way interactions effect of forms of work intensification (i.e., work overload and time demand) and dimensions of work-family restrictions (work restrictions on family domain and negative impacts of work-family restrictions) on mental wellbeing and marital quality. The findings suggest that negative impacts of work-family restrictions can aggravate the negative complementarity between the different forms of work intensification and work restrictions on employee mental wellbeing and marital quality. Contributions to theories of social harm of work, conservation of resources, and the source attribution perspective to explain the negative impacts of work-family interference on family domain specific employee wellbeing outcomes are discussed.
