Resumen de When work and family are allies: a theory of work-family enrichment

Jeffrey H. Greenhaus, Gary N. Powell

• We define work-family enrichment as the extent to which experiences in one role improve the quality of life in the other role. In this article we propose a theoretical model of work-family enrichment and offer a series of research propositions that reflect two paths to enrichment: an instrumental path and an affective path. We then examine the implications of the model for future research on the work-family enrichment process.
