Research has documented the importance of a healthy work-life balance. The data in work-demands.csv were simulated to mimic the effects of receiving work-related contact outside of normal work hours found in the literature on psychological outcomes. The variables in the data are:
guilt: Measure of guilt (as a transitory affective state) related to home-life balance. This was measured using survey questions such as, “In the past seven days, on how many days have you felt guilty?” Higher values indicate more perceived guilt.contact: Measure of work contact/demands outside of normal working hours. Measured using survey items such as, “how often do coworkers, supervisors, managers, customers, or clients contact you about work-related matters outside normal work hours?”. Higher values indicate higher degrees of boundary-spanning work demands.female: Dummy-coded indicator of sex (0 = Not female; 1 = Female)authority: Standardized measure of job authority. Measured using survey items such as: “Do you influence or set the rate of pay received by others?” and “Do you have the authority to hire or fire others?”. Higher values indicate more authority.married: Dummy-coded indicator of marital status (0 = Not married; 1 = Married)# Import Data
