Figures & Tables

Figure 1

Hypothesized relationship between the study variables.

Note: WHI; work-home interaction (conflict and facilitation). Numbers in italic correspond with the hypotheses. Negative and positive health refer to the respondents perception that work have a positive or negative influence on their health, denoted work-related health in text.
