Abstract

Organizations have come to realize the significance of workplace well-being (WWB) for their existence and progression. This article substantiates the association of work–family balance (WFB) with WWB, while job satisfaction (JS), work engagement (WE) and turnover intent (TI) were studied as mediators to this primal association. The data was obtained in two phases, wherein at the end of the second phase, the authors gathered responses from 346 full-time employees, using a structured research tool. The study adopted a mediated structural equation model to examine the theoretical construct and its hypothesised relationships. The findings supported the hypothesized positive association between WFB and WWB, and a direct relationship of these focal variables was more magnified and pronounced than when mediated. The study revealed a significant mediation effect of work attitudes that is, JS and WE on the outcome variable: WWB; though, counterintuitively, turnover intent remained passive. Our research emphasizes the need to foster work– family culture for creating workplace happiness. The study further accentuates the body of knowledge that the association between these two focal variables also aids in making an immersive and engaged employee.
联盟还是联系?探索工作与家庭平衡对职场幸福感的影响,以及工作态度的中介效应
各组织已逐渐认识到工作场所福祉(WWB)对其生存和发展的重要意义。本文证实了工作与家庭平衡(WFB)与工作场所幸福感之间的关联,而工作满意度(JS)、工作投入度(WE)和离职意向(TI)则是这一原始关联的中介因素。数据分两个阶段获得,其中在第二阶段结束时,作者使用结构化研究工具收集了 346 名全职员工的回复。研究采用了中介结构方程模型来检验理论构架及其假设关系。研究结果支持了 WFB 和 WWB 之间的正相关假设,而且这些焦点变量的直接关系比中介关系更加放大和明显。研究揭示了工作态度(即 JS 和 WE)对结果变量的重要中介效应:尽管与直觉相反的是,离职意向仍然是被动的。我们的研究强调了培养工作-家庭文化以创造工作场所幸福感的必要性。这项研究进一步强调了这两个焦点变量之间的关联有助于培养员工的沉浸感和参与感。
