3. Résumé

«For on-site childcare, the need for this service has a moderating effect on the relationships between FWC, burnout (emotional exhaustion and depersonalization), and job stress. […] Concerning the compressed workweek, the desire for this option has a moderating effect on six relationships. It moderates the link between, on the one hand, WFC, and on the other hand job stress and emotional exhaustion. It also has a moderating effect on the link between FWC and job stress. In the same vein, it moderates the effects of job stress, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization on intention to leave. […] Finally, the desire for part-time work also has moderating effects in seven cases. It moderates the effects of WFC/FWC on job stress, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization. It has a moderating effect on the relationship between job stress and intention to leave.» (p. 2421) «The results [highlight] the importance of subjective needs for family friendly policies in the work–family interface and job outcome processes. The perception of a desire or need for these measures offers a new understanding of these practices […].» (p. 2421) «Moreover, the present study contributes to the knowledge on the influence of the need for four family friendly policies not only on WFC and FWC, but also on job stress, burnout, and intention to leave.» (p. 2421)
