Abstract
Domain interference predicts lower job satisfaction, whereas domain facilitation predicts higher job satisfaction. However, prior research has examined the effects of interference and facilitation separately. In the current study, we investigated the simultaneous and interactive effects of domain interference and facilitation on job satisfaction, and explored attachment styles as moderators of the associations between the domain linkages and job satisfaction in a sample of 159 employed individuals. Results indicated that work-home interference and facilitation interacted to predict job satisfaction, such that high work-home facilitation buffered the negative effects of work-home interference on job satisfaction. Furthermore, anxious attachment predicted a stronger positive link between work-home facilitation and job satisfaction, whereas avoidant attachment predicted weaker associations between home-work interference and job satisfaction.
