Actor and Partner Effects of Work-Family Environment on Individuals’ and Spouses’ WFI through Work Demands, based on Bias-Corrected Bootstrapping (5,000 Iterations)

Paths B 95% CI

Work Hours as the Mediator
Wife work-family environment → Wife work hours → Wife WFI = A → A −.06 −.11, −.02 .01
 Husband work-family environment → Husband work hours → Husband WFI = A → A   .03 −.01,   .08 .22
 Wife work-family environment → Husband work hours → Wife WFI = P → P   .00 −.01,   .02 .82
 Husband work-family environment → Wife work hours → Husband WFI = P → P −.00 −.01,   .01 .92
 Wife work-family environment → Wife work hours → Husband WFI = A → P −.00 −.03,   .03 .80
 Husband work-family environment → Husband work hours → Wife WFI = A → P   .00 −.01,   .02 .84
 Wife work-family environment → Husband work hours → Husband WFI = P → A   .03   .00,   .08 .08
 Husband work-family environment → Wife work hours → Wife WFI = P → A −.01 −.05,   .03 .69

Work Pressure as the Mediator
Wife work-family environment → Wife work pressure → Wife WF = A → A −.10 −.16, −.05 .00
 Husband work-family environment → Husband work pressure → Husband WFI = A → A −.03 −.07,   .00 .09
 Wife work-family environment → Husband work pressure → Wife WFIy = P → P −.00 −.01,   .01 .91
 Husband work-family environment → Wife work pressure → Husband WFIy = P → P −.00 −.01,   .01 .91
 Wife work-family environment → Wife work pressure → Husband WFI = A → P   .03 −.02,   .08 .23
 Husband work-family environment → Husband work pressure → Wife WFI = A → P   .01 −.01,   .03 .35
 Wife work-family environment → Husband work pressure → Husband WFIz = P → A   .00 −.02,   .02 .88
 Husband work-family environment → Wife work pressure → Wife WFIz = P → A   .00 −.02,   .02 .88

Note. B = unstandardized coefficients. CI = confidence interval. A = actor effect; P = partner effect. A → A represents the actor effect from the work-family environment to the actor’s work demand mediator, followed by the actor effect from the mediator to the actor’s WFI; P → P represents the partner effect from the actor’s work-family environment to the partner’s mediator, followed by the partner effect from the partner’s mediator to the actor’s WFI. A → P represents the actor effect from the actor’s work-family environment to the actor’s mediator, followed by the partner effect from the actor’s mediator to the partner’s WFI; P → A represents the partner effect from the actor’s work-family environment to the partner’s mediator, followed by the actor effect from the partner’s mediator to the partner’s WFI. Indirect effects marked by yz were constrained to be the same across wives and husbands.
