Be. Robinson et al., Work stress and marriage: A theoretical model examining the relationship between workaholism and marital cohesion, INT J STR M, 8(2), 2001, pp. 165-175
Using structural equation modeling the relationship of work stress and mari
tal cohesion was empirically investigated. It was hypothesized that work st
ress would have an inverse relationship with marital cohesion. Participants
were a random sample of 326 adult females who were members of the American
Counselling Association. The results of the data-model fit analyses suppor
t the hypothesized relationship. The coefficient of determination for the s
tructural equation was 0.60 indicating a substantial degree of explanation
far the relationship tested. Implications of these findings for future rese
arch are presented.
