Abstract

PurposeThis study examines the role of Saudi women’s work motivational drivers on work–home conflict (WHC) and work–home enrichment (WHE). It considers the moderating role of psychological detachment from work during the evening between one workday and the next and how it impacts on the mediating role of WHC and WHE on work performance.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on self-determination theory and enrichment and depletion perspectives on the work–home interface, the study employs a quantitative lagged study over a period of three consecutive working days, with data collected from 358 Saudi women working in academia.FindingsModerated mediation structural equation modelling (MMSEM) analysis reveals that intrinsic motivation is significantly, positively related to WHE and home–work enrichment (HWE), whereas extrinsic motivation is only significantly and positively related to home–work conflict (HWC). Results show that detaching from work weakens the positive association between intrinsic motivation and HWE. In line with predictions, WHE is significantly, positively related to citizenship behaviour towards both individuals and organizations, whilst HWE is significantly related to citizenship behaviour towards individuals only. HWC is only significantly related to citizenship behaviour towards the organisation.Social implicationsThe research highlights the enriching experiences for Saudi women, who have the opportunity to pursue a career and highlight benefits of their ongoing empowerment.Originality/valueThis research brings a unique motivational perspective to work–life research and addresses a shortcoming of work–life research in considering an understudied culturally distinct population. It emphasises on the enriching experiences of Saudi women who have the opportunity to pursue a career, highlighting the benefits of their ongoing empowerment.

塑造沙特妇女工作与家庭界面的动机驱动因素和心理疏离感

目的本研究探讨了沙特妇女的工作动机对工作与家庭冲突（WHC）和工作与家庭充实（WHE）的影响。本研究借鉴了自我决定理论以及关于工作-家庭界面的充实和枯竭观点，在连续三个工作日内进行了定量滞后研究，收集了 358 名沙特学术界女性的数据。研究结果中介结构方程建模（MMSEM）分析表明，内在动机与 WHE 和家庭工作充实（HWE）显著正相关，而外在动机仅与家庭工作冲突（HWC）显著正相关。结果表明，脱离工作会削弱内在动机与家庭工作丰富性之间的正相关。与预测一致，WHE 与对个人和组织的公民行为有显著正相关，而 HWE 仅与对个人的公民行为有显著相关。社会意义这项研究强调了沙特妇女的丰富经历，她们有机会追求事业，并强调了她们持续获得权力的好处。原创性/价值这项研究为工作与生活研究带来了独特的动机视角，并解决了工作与生活研究中对文化差异研究不足的问题。它强调了有机会追求事业的沙特妇女的丰富经历，突出了她们不断获得权力的好处。

期刊介绍： Careers and Development are inter-related fields of study with connections to many academic disciplines, organizational practices and policy developments in the emerging knowledge economies and learning societies of the modern world. Career Development International provides a platform for research in these areas that deals with questions of theories and theory development, as well as with organizational career strategy, policy and practice. Issues of theory and of practice may be dealt with at individual, organizational and society levels. The international character of submissions may have two aspects. Submissions may be international in their scope, dealing with a topic that is of concern to researchers throughout the world rather than of sole interest to a national audience. Alternatively, submissions may be international in content, relating, for example, to comparative analyses of careers and development across national boundaries, or dealing with inherently ''international'' issues such as expatriation. Coverage: -Individual careers - psychological and developmental perspectives -Career interventions (systems and tools, mentoring, etc) -Government policy and practices -HR planning and recruitment -International themes and issues (MNCs, expatriation, etc) -Organizational strategies and systems -Performance management -Work and occupational contexts
