A Literature Review of Positive and Negative Crossover at the Work-Family Interface in Couples

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1027/1016-9040/a000275

Abstract. The aim of this paper is to review recent research on negative and positive crossover from work to family and from family to work in couples. The results of the 58 included studies mainly highlight indirect crossover based on spillover processes and marital interactions. More specifically, they show that incumbents’ positive and negative experiences at work cross over to their spouses’ well-being or family functioning through experiences of work-family enrichment and work-family conflict, respectively, and, for negative crossover, through negative marital interactions. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed and directions for future research are outlined.
