Studies have found anger at others at home (AOH) to be associated with job-related stress, and work-to-home interference (WHI). These findings suggest that WHI may mediate the translation of stress about work into AOH. This study investigates the associations of work-related worries, and anger about work, with worries about home and AOH. WHI is investigated as a mediator of the translation of job worry into AOH, and spillover of moods between work and home. Gender, age and job control are investigated as moderators of those associations. Data are from a telephone survey of employed residents of Toronto, Canada who are living with others. The results suggest that WHI mediates the spillover of worries between work and home, but not the spillover of anger or the translation of job worries into AOH. The moderation analyses suggest that WHI increases AOH only among people with low job control.
► Information about associations among work-related worries and anger with worries about home and anger towards others at home are investigated. ► It is important because anger at others at home may contribute to domestic violence. ► This study estimates the association between anger about work and anger towards others at home. ► That association is especially strong among people who have low job control. ► That association is not mediated by work–home interference.
