Abstract: Using a multi-actor, multi-level, longitudinal data set from 94 subsidiaries in 27 countries of a European multinational corporation (MNC) this paper examines the impact of work family support (WFS) on subsidiary performance (effectiveness of the subsidiary’s top management team and customer satisfaction) over time. We also examine how the embeddedness of WFS in the environment (e.g. high commitment HRM practices and masculinity) moderates the impact of WFS on subsidiary performance. The results showed that WFS is positively related to subsidiary performance and that these relationships are strengthened in a high commitment human resource management and low masculinity environment. This information is vital to understanding attributes of the internal environment which need to be in place for work family programs to succeed.
