Abstract:
|
The 2002 National Study of the Changing Workforce was used to investigate the effects of work type on women’s lives. Specifically, it was hypothesized that self-employed women have better work-family fit than organizationally employed women. It was also hypothesized that as a result of better work-family fit, self-employed women would report better mental health than organizationally employed women. The analysis shows only limited support for the hypotheses. Of the different dimensions of work-family fit, self-employment directly influenced only positive spillover from job to home. Work type had no direct influence on mental health. It appears that work type may indirectly influence work-family fit and mental health through higher job satisfaction and increased autonomy. Implications of the findings are discussed. |
