"Insight into the reciprocal association between both directions of work-family conflict and depressive complaints is lacking. This study shows that there is a cross-lagged association between home-work interference and depressive complaints over time, suggesting a partly reciprocal association. This finding suggests that prevention of home-work interference and depressive complaints is important since the two may aggravate each other over time."
