Abstract: This study estimates the impact of working conditions and individual and family characteristics on negative spillover (NS) from job to home among Latinos and Non-Latino White workers. Among Non-Latino Whites, younger individuals, females, and workers with young children and a spouse or partner in residence experience higher levels of NS compared to older individuals, males, those without young children, and singles, respectively. Among Latino workers, the only significant individual or family characteristic associated with NS is gender. Working conditions, including hours worked, supervisor support, job pressure, and job autonomy significantly impact NS for both groups. The relationship between NS and workplace culture was supported by the data for Non-Latino White workers only. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media, Inc. 2006
