Record Detail

This paper aims to discover predictors of aca-demics’ work-to-family enrichment at Malaysian ResearchUniversities. The underlying theoretical foundations of thisstudy are the work–family enrichment theory by Greenhausand Powell and the model of primary antecedents, conse-quences, and moderators of facilitation by Wayne, Grzy-wacz, Carlson, and Kacmar. The sample includes 295academics from three Malaysian Research Universities,and data were gathered via online and offline surveys. Thisstudy found that all the selected personal factors (i.e.extraversion, core self-evaluation, overall health), andenvironmental factors (i.e. social support, job autonomy,supportive work–family culture) were significantly relatedto work-to-family enrichment among the academics. Inaddition, extraversion and social support were the bestpredictors of academics’ work-to-family enrichment.Conclusion and implications for theory and practice arediscussed in the paper.
