Self-employment and family life: constructing work–life balance when you're ‘always on’ (2014, background): “There is a substantial literature exploring theories and approaches to understanding work–life balance (e.g., see reviews by Edwards & Rothbard, 2000; Frone, 2003; Thompson, Beauvais, & Allen, 2006).”
Negative and positive spillover between work and home: Relationship to perceived stress and job satisfaction (2009, background): “Positive spillover (Edwards and Rothbard, 2000), work-family facilitation (Grzywacz and Butler, 2005), and work-family enrichment (Greenhaus and Powell, 2006) are terms used to describe the positive effect that work can have on family and the positive effect that family can have on work.”
Crafting one’s leisure time in response to high job strain (2016, background): “If we view individuals as active agents who intentionally shape their time, work and non-work seem to be connected in more complex ways (Edwards and Rothbard, 2000).”

Elucidating the Positive Side of the Work-Family Interface on International Assignments: A Model of Expatriate Work and Family Performance (2010, positive): “Less prevalent but gaining increasing popularity, the facilitation/ enrichment perspective suggests that a positive spillover is possible (Edwards & Rothbard, 2000; Grzywacz & Marks, 2000; Marks, 1977; Rothbard, 2001).”
The link between national paid leave policy and work-family conflict among married working parents (2014, neutral): “From a theoretical perspective, national policies such as paid time for sick leave and parental leave are thought to be beneficial to working parents because they serve as a resource that can help avert conflicts between work and family (e.g., Edwards & Rothbard, 2000; Goode, 1960).”
Leaving Work at Work: A Meta-Analysis on Employee Recovery From Work (2019, background): “Yet, it has long been recognized that recovery is influenced by, and influences, not just work domain factors but also non–work domain factors (Edwards & Rothbard, 2000; Sonnentag, 2003).”
Relationship between protean career orientation and work–life balance: A resource perspective (2015, background): “Unlike work-family conflict and work-family enrichment, which are linking mechanisms between work and family roles (Edwards & Rothbard, 2000) that explain how experiences in one role negatively (conflict) or positively (enrichment) affect experiences and outcomes in the other role, balance refers…”
