Work schedule flexibility and family life
基于1977年美国就业质量调查数据，研究发现工作日程灵活性可以缓冲非标准工作时间对家庭生活质量的负面影响，且这种缓冲作用在女性中更明显。
Abstract This paper explores the implications of work schedule flexibility for family life. Based on data from the 1977 Quality of Employment Survey, it demonstrates that flexibility of work schedules moderates the effects of nonstandard work schedules on family life. That is, nonstandard work schedules tend to have a less negative association with the quality of family life when accompanied by a high level of schedule flexibility. The paper further demonstrates that this tendency of flexibility to act as a buffer against the negative effects of nonstandard work schedules on family life is more pronounced among working women than working men.
