As management scholars have attempted to paint a more complete picture of the employee experience, the connection between the work and nonwork domains remains a large part of the conversation. While a vast collection of research focuses exclusively on an employee’s work- specific factors, an ever-increasing body of literature acknowledges that the work and nonwork domains consistently spill over into one another (Edwards & Rothbard, 2000; Greenhaus & Beutell, 1985; Greenhaus & Powell, 2006). The literature has long recognized that these domains can come into conflict with one another while simultaneously enriching each other. Yet, the interplay between personal and professional has become increasingly complicated for the modern employee. Changes in the shape and structure of both the family and work domains have proven that these domains are not as static as once thought (Powell, Greenhaus, Allen, & Johnson, 2019). Instead, employees exist beyond the tight bounds of a single work domain and family domain with a spouse and kids. In response, the study of these domains has attempted to look beyond the common parameters of conflict and enrichment and turn instead to the lived experience of individuals as they traverse between the domains. Indeed, the latest concentrations on specific populations, such as breastfeeding mothers (Gabriel, Volpone, MacGowan, Butts, & Moran, 2020), or on specific activities in the nonwork domain, like exercise (Calderwood, Gabriel, ten Brummelhuis, Rosen, & Rost, 2021; ten Brummelhuis, Calderwood, Rosen, & Gabriel, 2022), inform that the nonwork domain contains a wide range of experiences. Recognizing these changes for employees, our symposium takes new angles to common types of spillover (including leisure activities’ influence on work performance and the crossover effects from partners) while also considering new types of social interactions (such as online dating or participating in team-based leisure activities) that spillover in distinct ways. Through these explorations of spillover, we aim to provide novel examples of how the nonwork domain affects the work domain that better represents the modern workforce. Specifically, the papers in our symposium explore well-being outcomes of dating app usage, in-role and extra-role behavioral outcomes of partner sacrifice, proactivity benefits of hobby job participation, and team learning outcomes of team-based leisure activity participation.
