Does a Flexibility/Support Organizational Initiative Improve High-Tech Employees' Well-Being? Evidence from the Work, Family

Evidence from the Work, Family, and Health Network Phyllis Moen,a Erin L. Kelly,b Wen Fan,c Shi-Rong Lee,a David Almeida,d Ellen Ernst Kossek,e and Orfeu M. Buxtond Abstract This study tests a central theoretical assumption of stress process and job strain models, namely that increases in employees’ control and support at work should promote well-being. To do so, we use a group-randomized field trial with longitudinal data from 867 information technology (IT) workers to investigate the well-being effects of STAR, an organizational intervention designed to promote greater employee control over work time and greater supervisor support for workers’ personal lives. We also offer a unique analysis of an unexpected field effect— a company merger—among workers surveyed earlier versus later in the study period, before or after the merger announcement. We find few STAR effects for the latter group, but over 12 months, STAR reduced burnout, perceived stress, and psychological distress, and increased job satisfaction, for the early survey group. STAR effects are partially mediated by increases in schedule control and declines in family-to-work conflict and burnout (an outcome and mediator) by six months. Moderating effects show that STAR benefits women in reducing psychological distress and perceived stress, and increases non-supervisory employees’ job satisfaction. This study demonstrates, with a rigorous design, that organizational-level initiatives can promote employee well-being. -

I am pleased, as President of the 2016 Work and Family Researchers Network (WFRN), to welcome you to our third conference, the first one to be held in Washington, D.C. With the large theme Careers, Care, and Life-Course “Fit:” Implications for Health, Equality, and Policy, my aim has been to focus on dynamics and contexts, including the contexts of different family and work stages and ages, as well as the contexts defined by organizational and public policy constraints and possibilities. As you will see in the program, a lot of you picked up on and extended these themes in imaginative and exciting new ways. Everything has changed and is changing – the nature of work, the nature of the workforce, the nature of families, and uncertain global economy, warp-speed technological innovation, and a weakening safety net – but we remain stuck with institutions developed in the 1950’s. Much of this conference is about recognizing these changes and the need to acknowledge the multilayered dislocations defining the contemporary work and family experience, as well as the need to reshape existing institutions and to fashion new, more sustainable arrangements that promote family and individual health and well-being in tandem with gender equality. -
'Fit' Inside the Work–Family Black Box: an Ecology of the Life Course, Cycles of Control Reframing
411 The British Psychological Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology (2008), 81, 411–433 Society q 2008 The British Psychological Society www.bpsjournals.co.uk ‘Fit’ inside the work–family black box: An ecology of the life course, cycles of control reframing Phyllis Moen*, Erin Kelly and Reiping Huang Flexible Work and Well Being Center, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA Scholars have not fully theorized the multifaceted, interdependent dimensions within the work–family ‘black box’. Taking an ecology of the life course approach, we theorize common work–family and adequacy constructs as capturing different components of employees’ cognitive appraisals of fit between their demands and resources at the interface between home and work. Employees’ appraisals of their work–family linkages and of their relative resource adequacy are not made independently but, rather, co-occur as identifiable constellations of fit. The life course approach hypothesizes that shifts in objective demands/resources at work and at home over the life course result in employees experiencing cycles of control, that is, corresponding shifts in their cognitive assessments of fit. We further theorize patterned appraisals of fit are key mediators between objective work–family conditions and employees’ health, well-being and strategic adaptations. As a case example, we examine whether employees’ assessments on 10 dimensions cluster together as patterned fit constellations, using data from a middle-class sample of 753 employees working at Best Buy’s corporate headquarters. We find no single linear construct of fit that captures the complexity within the work– family black box. Instead, respondents experience six distinctive constellations of fit: one optimal; two poor; and three moderate fit constellations. -
