Sažetak
Background: Recent research evidence is lacking on the implications of older family members' and other sources of help to the employees' well-being, which is typical for Croatian families. The study aim was to explore employees’ well- being and work-family interaction in relation to the family support sources - older family members or paid help. Methods: Participants were 597 employees of various Croatian organisations, heterogeneous regarding sociodemographic and work-related characteristics, working at least 30 hours per week. Participants completed the on-line questionnaire including the scales of: Satisfaction in life, work and family life, Job affective well-being, Work engagement, Work- family conflict, and Family support sources. Data on participants’ sociodemographic and work-related characteristics were collected. Findings: Results of t-tests revealed interesting findings regarding benefits of the sources of help that the employees used in their household. The source of help which seemed to be the most beneficial for various indicators of employees’ well-being was the paid help. Also, the help of partners' parents showed the significant effect for the employees’ satisfaction in life, work and family life. The help of employee's own parents failed to show benefits for employee's general and work-related well-being, but it might be due to the fact that only 13% of employees reported that they had not received any help from their parents. Discussion: The findings indicate the important contribution of older family members to the general and work-related well-being of employed family members, and suggest further exploration.
