Managing The Personal And Societal Impacts Of Marriage, Domestic Violence, And Divorce

Abstract

The study examines the influence of marriage-related stressors such as domestic violence, divorce and having affairs, on people and communities, especially in the workplace. A number of 350 professionals from healthcare, corporate and academic sectors were surveyed using prepared questionnaires to obtain data. The researchers studied the connection between emotional trauma, marital strain, societal stigma, trust erosion and workplace results with the help of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, one-way ANOVA, correlation, regression and structural equation modeling. It is seen, from the results, that emotions and reactions are different for men and women, that work stress in different industries varies greatly and that family challenges are strongly related to dropping involvement in work. Results of both mediation and moderation show that both motivation and support from the organization may reduce the negative effects of challenges at work on work engagement. The structural model points out the link between personal trauma, absenteeism and lower productivity at work. This proves that targeted support is valuable for employees dealing with marital problems to improve the success of the company. The findings of this study help us see how stress outside of work lives may impact behavior at work and can benefit both company policies and intervention.
