Abstract

Prior to identifying issues to be addressed before testing the comprehensive model, the chapter traces the phases passed by work–family interface research prior to introducing the term work–life interface. It establishes that work–life interface can be presented in multiple dimensions and types represented by work–life conflict, work–life facilitation, family–work conflict, and family–work facilitation. Researchers have proved these variables to be distinct, with distinct antecedents in the work and life domains. The aim of this summary is to identify lapses in the measurement of variables associated with work–life interface included in the comprehensive model postulated in Chapter 12 . The last part of the chapter itemizes issues to be resolved prior to the testing of the developed WLI model. Two issues stand out clearly: developing an appropriate measure for the variables and theoretical frameworks that govern relationships in the model.
