TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Personal vulnerability and work-home interaction: the effect of job performance-based self-esteem on work/home conflict and facilitation JO - Scandinavian journal of psychology A1 - Innstrand, Siw Tone A1 - Langballe, Ellen Melbye A1 - Espnes, Geir Arild A1 - Aasland, Olaf Gjerløw A1 - Falkum, Erik SP - 480 EP - 487 VL - 51 IS - 6 N2 - The aim of the present study was to examine the longitudinal relationship between job performance-based self-esteem (JPB-SE) and work-home interaction (WHI) in terms of the direction of the interaction (work-to-home vs. home-to-work) and the effect (conflict vs. facilitation). A sample of 3,475 respondents from eight different occupational groups (lawyers, physicians, nurses, teachers, church ministers, bus drivers, and people working in advertising and information technology) supplied data at two points of time with a two-year time interval. The two-wave, cross-lagged structural equations modeling (SEM) analysis demonstrated reciprocal relationships between these variables, i.e., job performance-based self-esteem may act as a precursor as well as an outcome of work-home interaction. The strongest association was between job performance-based self-esteem and work-to-home conflict. Previous research on work-home interaction has mainly focused on situational factors. This longitudinal study expands the work-home literature by demonstrating how individual vulnerability (job performance-based self-esteem) contributes to the explanation of work-home interactions.
