Summary
Work-family research increasingly recognizes the role of national context, including institutional and cultural characteristics. Although work-family research in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is still emerging, specific public policies, legislation, as well as informal values and beliefs may uniquely shape individual experiences of the intersection between work and family. This chapter summarizes work-family research from the region. It provides a brief overview of the specific national context by specifically focusing on characteristics of the work and family context. It also identifies theoretical and measurement issues, including an overview of theories, research design, and questionnaire use. Next, cross-national work-family research and CEE-based work-family research is reviewed and compared to research from other countries. Finally, the chapter presents a research agenda for the region and future cross-national work-family research.
