Abstract
This article reviews three dramatic workplace changes and examines the ir implications for employees and their families. The changes include downsizing, diffusing information via computerized telecommunication t echnologies, and increasing reliance on high-involvement team approach es. It is proposed that these changes are related to workplace charact eristics that impact families, including work stress, social support, and occupational complexity. Conclusions focus on program and policy i mplications of these work-family dynamics.
