Abstract

Our study considered the direct and indirect influence of the domain-specific antecedents of organizational and family expectations and cross-domain technology usage (CDTU) attachment style on bi-directional work-family conflict (WFC) using a sample of 451 employees from four countries. Organizational and family expectations were associated with higher WFC, but only CDTU with business associates was related to work interference with family (WIF). Counterdependency had a direct positive association with WFC. For overdependents, WFC increased along with CDTU, while for interdependents, family interference with work (FIW) went up as CDTU with family increased. Country moderated the relationship between CDTU with business associates and WIF; unlike the other three countries, there was no relationship between levels of CDTU with business associates and WIF in the U.S. There was also a significant interaction of family expectations by country for FIW. In China, FIW remained at the same level, regardless of family expectations; whereas in the other three countries there was a positive relationship.
