Conservative welfare state policies as in Germany often presume that money is a common resource within couples and, therefore, pooled. Research, however, indicates that money is increasingly managed separately or partly separately. This trend is either explained by the diversification of forms of relationships or interpreted as a general decline of the joint pooling of money. Contributing to this debate, ...

How do national-level work–life balance policies shape the role of flextime in maternal labor market re-entry after childbirth? It is well known that such policies influence the adoption, provision, and support of flexible work arrangements by organizations, but whether they shape the relevance of these arrangements for workers has been neglected in past research. This article analyzes whether mothers’ ...

Flexible Arbeitsarrangements können die Vereinbarkeit von Erwerbsarbeit mit außerberuflichen Tätigkeiten erleichtern. Gleitzeit, völlig selbstbestimmte Arbeitszeiten und Homeoffice können Beschäftigten mehr Autonomie geben und somit die Möglichkeit, ihre Erwerbsarbeit an ihr Familienleben anzupassen. Flexible Arbeitsarrangements sind daher vor allem für Eltern zentral, die sich tagtäglich der Herausforderung ...

Schedule control can have both positive—e.g., increased income—and negative outcomes—e.g., increased overtime. Here our core interest is whether there are gender discrepancies in these outcomes. Given the different ways in which schedule control can be used, and perceived to be used by men and women, their outcomes are also expected to be different. This is examined using the German Socio-Economic ...

Die Lohnungleichheit zwischen Frauen und Männern ist ein wesentliches Hindernis auf dem Weg zu Geschlechtergleichstellung. Löhne sind für die Lebensqualität und soziale Teilhabe entscheidend und bestimmen, wie gut Individuen abgesichert und im Alter versorgt sind. Die Beseitigung der Lohnlücke zwischen Frauen und Männern ist gerade in Deutschland eine zentrale Aufgabe. Denn hier ist der Gender Pay ...

According to adaptation theory, individuals react to events but quickly adapt back to baseline levels of subjective well-being. To test this idea, the authors used data from a 15-year longitudinal study of over 24,000 individuals to examine the effects of marital transitions on life satisfaction. On average, individuals reacted to events and then adapted back toward baseline levels. However, there ...

According to set-point theories of subjective well-being, people react to events but then return to baseline levels of happiness and satisfaction over time. We tested this idea by examining reaction and adaptation to unemployment in a 15-year longitudinal study of more than 24,000 individuals living in Germany. In accordance with set-point theories, individuals reacted strongly to unemployment and ...

A common interpretation of existing subjective well-being research is that long-term levels of well-being are almost completely stable. However, few studies have estimated stability and change using appropriate statistical models that can precisely address this question. The STARTS model (Kenny & Zautra, 2001) was used to analyze life satisfaction data from two nationally representative panel studies. ...

Longitudinal data from a national sample of Germans (N = 20,434) were used to evaluate stability and change in the Big Five personality traits. Participants completed a brief measure of personality twice, 4 years apart. Structural equation modeling techniques were used to establish measurement invariance over time and across age groups. Substantive questions about differential (or rank-order) and mean-level ...
