In this article, some results are derived on stochastic comparisons of the residual and past lifetimes of an (nk+1)-out-of-n system with dependent components. These findings generalize some recent results obtained on systems with independent components and provide some interesting results for a system with dependent components following an Archimedean copula. An illustrative example is provided.
