Abstract
Despite persistent suggestions that excessive work involvement or negative work-related experiences would have an adverse influence on the marital relationship, no conclusive empirical data support this assumption. The association between 50 husbands' work-related experiences (job involvement, job satisfaction, and perceptions of organizational climate) and their wives' marital satisfaction was assessed. Multiple regression analysis revealed that husbands' perceptions of the organizational climate and their job satisfaction were related to their spouses' marital satisfaction in a significant, positive, and linear manner.Keywords
