Abstract: In this paper I review the literature on the antecedents and outcomes of work-family conflict and family-supportive policies. The purpose of this paper is to review and confront two practically divorced literatures and point to the gaps in the literature on work-family conflict and work-family policies in order to recognize avenues for future research. First, I review the literature on work-family conflict, distinguishing theories, antecedents, consequences, typologies, and measures. Second, I focus on the literature of work-family policies. The analysis and comparison of the literatures described in the first and second part serve as sources for summarizing the weaknesses of these literatures and formulating recommendations for future research in the domain of work-family conflict and family-supportive policies. In a last section, I provide a number of broad categories with which to build a framework for research on the work-family interface.
