Abstract

This study concerned on the influence of occupational life on marital satisfaction and psychological well-being of middle-aged couples. It examined spillover influences and crossover influences within couples, in relation to women's employment types. Commitment to work, degree of marital satisfaction, and subjective well-being were the focus of a questionnaire survey of 110 couples where women worked full-time, 170 couples where women worked part-time, and 106 couples where women were not employed. It was found that a woman's commitment to her work (but not the man's commitment to work) influenced the degree of woman's marital satisfaction. In addition, a man's commitment to work influenced a woman's marital satisfaction and subjective well-being in a crossover manner. Specifically, a man's devotion to work reduced the woman's subjective well-being, and an increase in his work satisfaction increased the woman's degree of marital satisfaction. The woman's commitment to her work influenced the man's subjective well-being in this crossover manner only when the woman was working part-time. Both spillover and/or crossover influences of occupational life on marital relationship and psychological well-being apparently differed according to variations in women's work and men's gender role attitudes.
