Abstract

Guided by bioecological systems theory, this study aimed to examine the associations between work microsystem characteristics (working hours, decision latitude, work pressure), family microsystem characteristics (marital status, parental status), work-family mesosystem factors (positive and negative workfamily spillover) and mental health (depressive symptoms, positive affect, psychological well-being) among working women and men. The moderating effects of cultural context (Korea vs. U.S.) were also evaluated. OLS regression models were estimated using data from 1,260 working women (Korea: 463, U.S.: 797) and 1,659 working men (Korea: 795, U.S.: 864) aged 30-59 who participated in nationally representative survey studies of middle aged adults in Korea (MIDKO) and the U.S. (MIDUS).
