摘要

This research examined the adoption of work-life programs and the impact of work-life programs on firm productivity. Human resource executives in a national sample of 658 organizations provided survey data on firm characteristics and work-life programs. In these 658 organizations, the percentage of professionals and the percentage of women employed were positively related to the development of more extensive work-life programs. Productivity data were obtained from CD Disclosure for 195 public, for-profit firms. Significant interaction effects indicated that in these 195 firms work-life programs had a stronger positive impact on productivity when women comprised a larger percentage of the workforce and when a higher percentage of professionals were employed.
