Drawing from the workplace flexibility and coping literatures, the purpose of this paper is to re-conceptualize the workplace flexibility construct as a coping resource that may help prevent work-interferes-with-family (WIF) from arising and/or assist employees manage such interference when it has occurred. A measure capturing this re-conceptualized view of flexibility is developed and tested using two samples of dual-income employees with dependent care demands.,In Study 1, the authors use LISERL to develop and test a new multi-dimensional measure of workplace flexibility (n1=6,659). In Study 2 (n2=947), the authors use partial least squares, a component-based structural equation modeling technique, to test a model that posits workplace flexibility that helps employees cope with WIF.,This research provides support for the idea that workplace flexibility helps employees cope with WIF by: preventing interference (i.e. negatively moderating the relationship between work hours and WIF), and managing interference that has occurred (i.e. negatively moderating relationship between WIF and perceived stress).,This study highlights the complexity of the relationship between workplace flexibility and work-to-family interference and offers guidelines on how employers and employees can use the workplace flexibility measure developed in this study.

工作场所的灵活性及其与家庭干扰的关系

借鉴工作场所的灵活性和应对文献，本文的目的是重新概念化工作场所的灵活性构造，作为一种应对资源，可以帮助防止出现工作干扰家庭和/或帮助员工管理这种情况。发生干扰时。使用具有依赖护理需求的双收入雇员的两个样本，开发并测试了一种反映这种重新概念化的灵活性的方法。在研究1中，作者使用LISERL来开发和测试一种新的多维方法来衡量工作场所的灵活性（ n1 = 6659）。在研究2（n2 = 947）中，作者使用偏最小二乘法（一种基于组件的结构方程建模技术）来测试一种具有工作场所灵活性的模型，该模型有助于员工应对WIF。
