Description - Figure 59b - Reducing Work-Life Conflict: What Works? What Doesn't?

Graph shows, work-to-family interference (gender by job type analysis) the relationship between leaving things undone around the house and work-life conflict and indicates that the use of this coping strategy and work-to-family interference depends on both gender and job type.  At higher levels of work-to-family interference, men, regardless of job type, are more likely to cope by leaving things around the house undone. The relationship for women is very different, and varies strongly with job type.
