Relationship of Wives' Employment Status to Husband, Wife and Pair Satisfaction and Performance

Burke, Ronald J.; Weir, Tamara

Journal of Marriage and the Family, 38, 2, 279-286, May 76

Husband and wife pairs (N=189) separately completed lengthy questionnaires. Of the wives, 28 percent were employed full or part time. In general, working wives were more satisfied and performed more effectively than nonworking wives; conversely, husbands of working wives were less satisfied and performed less effectively than husbands of nonworking wives.
