Working-family evidence
Work, care and the whole person.
Relevant to decisions about purposeful peer connections that support work goals and family life; the original evidence concerns 199 respondents across three five-star hotels in Jinan, China.
Directly examines work and family life, parenting, caregiving or employment policies for families.
Editorial reading guide · Collaboration
Can better connections at work create resources for life outside it?
This reading brings network crafting, information exchange and positive affect as resources across work and family into the collaboration pathway. The three-wave hotel-employee survey offers a specific workplace lens on how employment and family life meet.
Study context
199 respondents across three five-star hotels in Jinan, China
Age / stage: Working adults; children not directly assessed
Read with three questions
- How did the researchers define and assess network crafting compared with simply expanding a network?
- What does the study design allow us to conclude about information exchange and positive-affect pathways?
- What would need to be checked before adopting purposeful peer connections that support work goals and family life?
Keep the limits in view
Three-wave survey modeling cannot eliminate confounding; a small high-end-hotel sample may not transfer to other workforces.
