Gender Differences in Perceptions of Resources and Turnover Intentions of Work-Linked Couples in Masculine Occupations

Dual-military couples have a unique experience balancing their roles as Service members and members of their families. This study considered the experiences of dual-military couples' gender differences, specifically examining women's experience of perceived support by supervisors for their work-life balance. The researchers found evidence that family supportive supervisory behaviors (e.g., emotional support, creative work-family management, role modeling) have a significant impact on Service members' intentions to prematurely separate from the military.
