From the Paper:

"The stress which results of having a lack of control over demands and excessive demands coupled with the family stress can cause overload, role conflict in dual-earner families, and the strain of the work-family balance (Katz & Piotrkowski, 1983; Hughes, Galinski, & Morris, 1992). With the upward movement of class, job stressors change somewhat. The balance of family boundaries to workplace demands, such as bringing home work and working long hours are what managers and executives must determine (Frone, Russell, & Cooper, 1992)."
