Does enrichment produce more benefits for the originating domain or for the receiving domain?

Providing greater understanding of the relationship between work–family enrichment and the outcomes of job and family satisfaction.

Determine enrichment influences satisfaction by examining two potential mediators.

Examine the direct effects of work–family enrichment on satisfaction

Work-to-family/family-to-work enrichment positively relates to family satisfaction/job satisfaction. (Recieving domain view)

Work-to-family/family-to-work enrichment positively relates to family satisfaction/job satisfaction. (Originating domain view)

Psychological distress mediates the relationship between work-to-family /family-tot-work enrichment and job satisfaction/family satisfaction.

Work-to-family enrichment will have a stronger total impact (both directly and indirectly) on job satisfaction than will family-to-work/work-to-family enrichment.

Positive mood mediates the relationship between work-to-family/family-to-work enrichment and job satisfaction/family satisfaction.

Family Enrichment does provide more benefits to the originating, rather than the receiving, domain, especially for job satisfaction.

Fills a gap by building on the role theory of enrichment and incorporating broaden-and-build theory to examine two mediating mechanisms of the enrichment to satisfaction process.

incorporated both directions of enrichment (work-to-family and family-to-work) and both domains of satisfaction (job and family) in the same study.
