Corporate supports for the family lives of employees: A conceptual model for program planning and evaluation.

Bowen proposes a conceptual model to examine the outcomes associated with employer-supported family benefits for employees and their families. This model is comprised of four primary sets of factors: (1) corporate culture and philosophy; (2) work environment (i.e., structure and dynamics); (3) employees' perceptions and circumstances (personal significance and need and expectations and beliefs); and (4) outcomes (i.e., outcomes at home and outcomes at work).
