Abstract

Business & Economics Family Studies Industrial Relations & Labor Social Sciences
A copious amount of research has been conducted on the antecedents and outcomes of work-family conflict. Research on coping with this conflict has been much more limited. This chapter provides an assessment of the work-family coping literature primarily through the lens of research presented at the International Conferences of Work and Family. In particular, were view the literature on individual work-family coping strategies and the agents involved in multiple role managing. While envisioning future work-family coping research, we offer a model rooted in the emerging idiosyncratic deals literature. The need for research on preventive coping and "non-rational" coping mechanisms is also discussed. Methodological recommendations for the future of work-family coping research are offered.
