Work-Family Conflict, Enrichment, and Adolescent Academic Adjustment in Dual-Earner Family

There is ample evidence that work-family conflict (WFC) and work-family enrichment (WFE), respectively, have detrimental and beneficial impacts on the functioning of couples, families, and children. In this study, cross-sectional data from 2,136 dual-earner families in China, including parents and t...
