Summary: Gender inequities are partly due to gender differences in working time arrangements. Women are more likely to work part-time due to personal or family obligations, while men are more likely to work overtime for additional income. There are also differences in work-life interface between women and men, with women being less willing to be available for work-related issues during leisure time.

Summary: There are significant differences in work-privacy conflict between full-time and part-time physicians, but no significant differences in burnout. The data suggests that other job-related variables may play a role in job-related well-being for physicians.

Summary: This study examined the impact of the work-family interface on individual well-being and strain, and found that the associations between work interference with family (WIF) and family interference with work (FIW) with well-being and strain varied depending on sex and whether or not individuals had children. Workers without children experienced lower associations between FIW and well-being and strain compared to workers with children.

Summary: This study examines the association between working from home and work-family conflict among parents using longitudinal data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey. The findings show that longer hours worked at home are linked to less work-family conflict, especially for those who predominantly work from home. Additionally, mothers derive greater benefits from home working compared to fathers. The analysis suggests that the association between working from home and work-family conflict is partially mediated by schedule control, commuting time, and unsocial work hours. While increased schedule control and reduced commuting contribute to lower work-family conflict, the presence of more unsocial work hours associated with home working increases conflict.

Summary: This study examines the spillover and crossover effects of working time demands on satisfaction with work-life balance among dual-earner couples using data from the German Family Panel. The findings suggest that high working time demands negatively impact the work-life balance satisfaction of workers and their partners due to work-life conflict. Measures are needed to reduce working time demands and alleviate work-life conflict.

Summary: This study examines the relationships between family-work conflicts, work-family conflicts, emotional exhaustion, and job embeddedness. The results show that emotional exhaustion mediates the relationships between family-work conflicts, work-family conflicts, and job embeddedness. Women who experience work and family conflicts and are unable to balance heavy workloads tend to experience emotional exhaustion, which in turn affects their job embeddedness.

Summary: This study is the first to report the psychometric properties of a German-language version of the Work-Family Conflict and Family-Work Conflict Scale. The analysis showed that there is a similar factor structure and meaning between women and men, but differences in scale scores may not adequately reflect level differences in the underlying latent factor. Additionally, the scale demonstrated high internal consistencies and test-retest reliabilities, supporting evidence for validity and reliability.

Summary: The European policy measures have resulted in higher net labour participation among older employees, but many still leave the workforce early, often due to mental health issues. This study found a strong longitudinal association between depressive symptoms and indicators of labor participation among older employees, even within different work contexts. The results provide valuable insights for developing preventive measures to improve sustainable labor participation among older employees.

Summary: The study showed that an indicated prevention strategy (IPS) based on screening and early intervention can significantly reduce the risk of long-term sickness absence over one year. Extended follow-up over five years indicated that the IPS had effects on reducing sickness absence and termination of employment contract, although the impact varied between the two approaches. Combining elements of both interventions may lead to optimal results but requires further study.

Summary: This study highlights the importance of the health culture within a company on the perceived responsibility towards sickness absence and health. A health culture that primarily focuses on physical complaints may create barriers for the adoption and implementation of preventive strategies.

Summary: This study examines the associations between chronic conditions and self-perceived health among older employees, and explores the impact of prevalent and incident presence of chronic conditions on labor participation and retirement. The results show that chronic conditions significantly affect employment and retirement outcomes for older employees, while self-perceived health is mainly a temporary factor.

Summary: This study explores the opportunities, barriers, and facilitators for adoption and implementation of an indicated prevention strategy for long-term absence among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The findings show that employers have positive expectations, while employees have more reservations. Key barriers include potential lack of confidentiality, unusual role perception of occupational health professionals, lack of capacity and resources, and lack of employer follow-up. Understanding these barriers and facilitators provides insights for wider and optimal implementation in various organizational settings.
