Nonwork Participation and Work Attitudes: A Test of Scarcity vs. Expansion Models of Personal Resources

University of Lethbridge, Lethbridge, Alberta T1K-3M4, Canada.

Participation in nonwork domains can be assumed either to rob work of resources, such as time, energy, and commitment, or to enrich resources available for work. This study provides support for the latter view. Both organizational commitment and job satisfaction correlated positively with the hours spent in, and the resources provided by, certain nonwork activities. Furthermore, the nonwork factors contributed significantly to several predictive equations of the work attitudes after the effects of common work-related correlates were controlled. Specific implications for human resources management are discussed.

Key Words: nonwork • multiple roles • spillover • organization commitment • job satisfaction
