The general objectives of this study were to determine the work-home interaction of South
African working females, to investigate the prevalence of work-home interaction and to
determine if differences concerning work-home interaction exist between different
demographical groups. An availability sample (n = 500) was taken from working females within
six provinces of South Africa. The SWING and a demographical questionnaire were
administered. Structural equation modelling (SEM) showed that a four-factor model, that
measures both the direction (work-home interaction and home-work interaction) and the quality
(positive or negative) of interaction, fitted the data best. All four factors were reliable, according
to the Cronbach alpha coefficients. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and one-way
analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to establish differences between work-home
interaction and different demographic characteristics. Statistically significant differences exist
between demographic groups based on race, language, occupation, parental status, household
situation and freedom to arrange circumstances.
