Families and Family Life Work-Family Spillover Division of Labor Relationship Satisfaction The purpose of the following study is to examine the relationships among work-to-family and family-to-work spillover, division of labor, and relationship satisfaction in a sample of married dual earner couples, in which both members are working more than 30 hours per week. Although literature would suggest that relationship satisfaction suffers when work to family spillover is high, it fails to provide a systemic view of these issues. The current study used dyadic data analyses in order to understand how husbands' work to family spillover affected wives' relationship satisfaction and vice versa. Using AMOS 18 with observed variables and maximum likelihood estimation, we tested our model. The model produced a moderate fit with a Χ2 (18)=35.42, NFI=.814, IFI=.899, CFI=.860, and RMSEA=.098. Analysis of the model shows that father’s work-to-family spillover negatively affects relationship satisfaction. We found a negative relationship between mother’s division of labor and her relationship satisfaction, and a negative relationship between father’s division of labor and mother’s relationship satisfaction. Results suggest that factors affecting division of labor are more important predicting relationship satisfaction than work-to-family or family-to-work spillover. 2010-09-03 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1275417957 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1275417957 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
