Abstract

Discussion of organizational responses to the challenges dual-earner couples face in integrating their work and family lives and of the effectiveness of various workplace characteristics and organizational initiatives for supporting such work-life integration. Development of a comprehensive model of organizational family responsiveness that incorporates work-life policies, traditional human resource incentives, and work redesign in the context of a workplace culture that facilitates the full implementation of these policies, as well as tests of that model.
