ABSTRACT
This chapter provides an overview of the existing key concepts to further propose several venues for advancing research on the work-nonwork interface. It describes the use of more accurate and neutral measures and less survey items that imply causal attributions in relation to triggers of conflict and enrichment experiences. The chapter suggests that the within-person approach to work-nonwork interface can help uncovering the true nature of the experience, especially from an episodic perspective. The use of more qualitative studies is also proposed to advance phenomenological understanding of the individuals' work-nonwork experiences. The chapter also suggests that the detailed measurement/conceptualization of the family situation is also of paramount importance to further advance research into the work-nonwork interface. It argues that it is necessary to further improve the specification of the role of culture in the configuration of the experience of positive or negative work-nonwork interface relationships.
