Abstract
Past research on the spillover, compensatory, and no-relationship models has not helped to discover the structural relationships among facets of work, nonwork, and general well-being. A more comprehensive approach is presented and illustrated with data from three empirical studies of German workers. Work is shown to be a less important contributor to general well-being than other facets of life space. Implications for quality of work life interventions and research are discussed.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
