Overview

Abstract (English)

This study explores how participation in decision making (PDM) can help employees balance the demands from work and life. Based on Karasek’s (1979) job demand-job control model, this study hypothesizes that work hours moderate the relationship between PDM and work-life conflict. Using a linked employer and employee two-year survey, this study finds that PDM can reduce work-life conflict, but the reduction only works for employees who work long hours. For those employees who work short hours, PDM increases their work-life conflict.
