The challenge-hindrance stressor framework focuses on individuals' appraisal of stressors as challenging or hindering. Most literature focuses on applying the challengehindrance stressor framework to performance outcomes. In contrast, the current study applies the framework to work-family outcomes while also examining the potential moderating effects of individual learning goal orientation (LGO).

Show moreThe challenge-hindrance stressor framework focuses on individuals' appraisal of stressors as challenging or hindering. Most literature focuses on applying the challengehindrance stressor framework to performance outcomes. In contrast, the current study applies the framework to work-family outcomes while also examining the potential moderating effects of individual learning goal orientation (LGO). Ninety-seven participants completed online surveys through Amazon's MTurk. Analyses revealed a positive relationship between challenge-related stressors and work-family conflict (WFC) as well as a positive relationship between hindrancerelated stressors and WFC. Furthermore, hindrance-related stressors and LGO interacted to predict WFC. The interaction indicated that the positive relationship between hindrance-related stressors and WFC was stronger at higher levels of LGO. Additionally, a positive relationship was found between LGO and labeling a higher number of ambiguous stressors as challengerelated. This study builds on prior literature by examining individual characteristics that may influence the effects of the challenge-hindrance stressor framework as well as identifying the importance of applying the framework to work-family outcomes. Future research calls for examining the influence of time in the challenge-hindrance stressor framework as well as examining the way individuals with low and high LGO cope differently with stressors and how coping strategies could influence work-family outcomes.
