Abstract	The present paper deals with three positive facets of the work-family interplay, i.e., transfer of competencies, transfer of positive mood, and cross-domain compensation. The latter refers to the experience that engagement in one domain helps dealing with failures in the other domain. In two correlational studies (N[subscript 1] = 107 working mothers, N[subscript 2] = 146 working men and women), cross-domain compensation predicted domain-specific well-being even when we controlled for work-family conflicts and the two other positive facets (viz., transfer of competencies and positive mood). In an additional experiment (N[subscript 3] = 63 working men and women), which exclusively focused on compensation, participants were asked to remember a job-related failure. Then they were instructed to think about a positive job-related experience (i.e., "intradomain" compensation) or family-related experience (i.e., "cross-domain" compensation). Compared to a control group, both experimental groups showed faster emotional recovery, with "cross-domain" compensation being a slightly more effective strategy at the beginning of that recovery.
