- For military families faced with work-family stressors, individual and organizational resources (e.g., supervisor support, family-friendly work policies) have been associated with positive work-family outcomes. Data from 417 full-time National Guard Soldiers from 10 workgroups were used to examine how resilience, family-supportive supervisor behavior, and perceptions of a positive work-family climate (i.e., work environment that respects family) were related to work and family conflict and enrichment (i.e., work-to-family conflict, family-to-work conflict, work-to-family enrichment, and family-to-work enrichment). Overall, Soldiers with more individual (e.g., resilience) and organizational resources (e.g., perceptions of positive work-family climate) reported better work-family outcomes (i.e., less conflict, more enrichment).
