Research Interests: The crux of my current research program is centered on developing a better understanding of how work and family conditions are connected and how they combine to influence individual health and well-being, as well as other aspects of life quality. Within this general framework, I have three different lines of research. The first area includes an examination of the work/family interface, including its structure and consequences for individuals and families. A second area of research investigates the ways that an individual’s work and family conditions can influence his or her spouse. A third research area examines work and family issues facing an aging workforce.
