Examining the Impact of Workplace Supports: Work-Family Fit and Satisfaction in the U.S. Military
McFadyen, Jennifer M.; Kerpelman, Jennifer L.; Adler-Baeder, Francesca
Family Relations, v54 n1 p131-144 Jan 2005
The current study sought to discover whether workplace support provided by Army Family Team Building (AFTB) of the Department of the Army was associated with changes in individual knowledge of basic Army lifestyle information, and whether such changes influenced a sense of fit and satisfaction with the Army. Data were collected from 69 Army wives. Findings support the notion that AFTB does increase a basic level of knowledge about the Army, and that this increase positively influences fit. Fit also mediated the relationship between knowledge gain and satisfaction. Implications for the general work-family interface are discussed.
