Preferred term

work-family enrichment  

Definition

  • Although work-family research has typically focused on the difficulties of participating in both work and family roles (i.e., work-family conflict), there is a growing awareness that there are also beneficial effects of combining work and family roles. These beneficial effects have been referred to as work-family enrichment and may have positive implications for career development, which is a function of one's work and nonwork experiences.
