    Abstract

    This study, through the adoption of the Conservation of Resources (COR) theoretical framework and the Job and Home Demands Resources (JHDR) model, explored the experiences of non-traditional Western Australian employees and families who work and live fly-in/fly-out (FIFO). Comparing FIFO-related literature with statements gained through participant responses, the study shows that individuals from nontraditional backgrounds experience FIFO challenges at a greater intensity than those from conventional FIFO backgrounds, thus influencing their work and home life.
