Tensions between work and home : job quality and working conditions in the institutional contexts of Germany and Spain
Drobnič, Sonja ; Guillén Rodrígez, Ana M.
Good jobs can generate capabilities that allow employees to avoid tensions between work and family/home. Following the conceptual framework of Amartya Sen, we examine how job-related demands and ...resources are related to the levelof interference, as well as satisfaction with managing work and home in Spanish and German employees, using three different large-scale European surveys: European Quality of Life Survey and two waves of the European Social Survey. We find that long working hours systematically increase tensions between work and home, as do time pressure, job-related stress, and working hard. Job control or autonomy at work, which is hypothesized to expand individualsć capabilities and agency, tends to increase work-home interferencerather than alleviate it. Family responsibilities and household demands do not seem relevant to the tensions employees
