Note. Alphabetic superscripts indicate significant difference between groups as a result of post-hoc tests (with Bonferroni adjustment). Class 1 = Family-oriented with moderate comparable self-efficacy beliefs, Class 2 = Work-oriented with corresponding moderate self-efficacy beliefs, Class 3 = Strongly work-oriented with corresponding self-efficacy beliefs, Class 4 = Family-oriented with comparable self-efficacy beliefs, Class 5 = Work and family oriented with strong comparable self-efficacy beliefs
