摘要
Through multiple regression analyses, this study examined the contribution of seven different aspects of eldercare to the prediction of several work and personal outcomes among employees of eight organizations. The analyses were restricted to the 1,302 (25.4%) employees over the age of 35 who provided assistance to an elderly relative by helping them with either at least one Activity of Daily Living (ADL) or with at least two Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL). The results revealed that assistance with ADLs, eldercare management activities, and the number of eldercare crises;to which the employee responded, each placed respondents at risk of more family interference with work, more stress, and more personal and job costs.
