Abstract

A comparative study of work–family stressors, work hours, and well-being was described contrasting managers from Anglo countries with China and Latin America. Anglos, but not Chinese and Latins, demonstrated a positive relation between work hours and work-family stressors. In all three samples work-family stressors related to well-being.
