A multiple stakeholder perspective: Implications for measuring work-family outcomes

This chapter addresses various outcomes related to work/family research. Our objectives are to describe several general categories of outcomes, identify specific outcomes that have been or should be measured in work/family research, and encourage work/family researchers to adopt a framework that recognizes the need to consider outcomes of interest to multiple stakeholders and multiple disciplines. Unlike other chapters in this seetion, this chapter does not focus on a specific research method, such as experimental interventions or case studies. Instead, we describe several measures that can be used in a variety of research designs.
