Is cortisol as a biomarker of stress influenced by the interplay of work-family conflict, work-family balance and resilience?

摘要

Purpose - The demands of balancing work and family roles are associated with stress experiences. Stress increases if work impinges too far on what is required from one's family while a balance between these demands tends to decreases stress. The purpose of this paper is to investigate resilience for the extent to which it can predict both work-family conflict (WFC) and balance (WFB). Moreover, cortisol levels will be used as a physiological indicator of stress.
