Feedback: Jobs impose different constraints on families, such as the amount of time spent working and the scheduling of work, which determine the amount of time workers can spend with their families. In addition, work has psychological costs and benefits that influence family interaction. Work–family interference is the way the connections between jobs and family life may be a source of tension for workers and family members. Spillover is the transfer of moods, feelings, and behavior between work and family settings. Researchers find that work-to-family spillover is more negative than family-to-work spillover. Spillover appears to be a gendered phenomenon, with men's work stress more likely to affect their family life and women's family stress more likely to affect their work life. The gendered and uneven relationship of work and family reinforces traditional divisions of labor in both work and family. Employed wives generally have two jobs—work and family—whereas employed husbands have only one. Gender is the deciding factor in who does this "second shift" work.
