Abstract

Purpose

Although Hispanics represent a large and growing proportion of the US workforce, little is known regarding the possible effects of their somewhat unique cultural values, beliefs, and practices on their experiences of work-family conflict or job satisfaction. This research tested theoretically derived hypotheses regarding the protective effect of a component of familism values, family as a source of social support, on these outcomes.

Design/methodology/approach

A moderated mediation model was tested using survey data from Hispanic professionals (N = 103).

Findings

As predicted, family support was negatively related to work interfering with family (WIF) and positively related to job satisfaction. WIF mediated the relationship between family support and job satisfaction. Additionally, gender moderated this mediated relationship such that the effects were stronger for Hispanic women than men.

Research limitations/implications

Generalizability of the results should be explored by employing larger samples that include longer tenured workers, employees with higher degrees of management experience, and additional Hispanic subgroups. Results contribute to a growing body of research demonstrating beneficial effects of familism values for Hispanics.

Practical implications

Results suggest that organizations may benefit from taking active steps to support familism values among Hispanic workers.

Originality/value

This is the first empirical study to explore the possible benefits of family support values on workplace outcomes.

强调家庭是社会支持的来源:对西班牙裔专业人员工作与家庭冲突和工作满意度的影响
目的虽然西班牙裔美国人在美国劳动力中所占的比例很大,而且还在不断增长,但人们对他们有些独特的文化价值观、信仰和习俗对他们的工作-家庭冲突经历或工作满意度可能产生的影响却知之甚少。本研究测试了从理论上得出的假设,即家庭主义价值观的一个组成部分--家庭作为社会支持的来源--对这些结果的保护作用。研究结果正如预测的那样,家庭支持与工作干扰家庭(WIF)呈负相关,而与工作满意度呈正相关。WIF 对家庭支持和工作满意度之间的关系起着中介作用。此外,性别对这种中介关系起着调节作用,因此对西班牙裔女性的影响比对男性的影响更大。研究局限性/意义研究结果的普遍性应通过采用更大的样本来探索,这些样本应包括任期更长的员工、具有更高水平管理经验的员工以及更多的西班牙裔亚群体。研究结果为越来越多的证明家庭主义价值观对西班牙裔员工有益的研究做出了贡献。研究结果表明,企业可以采取积极措施支持西班牙裔员工的家庭主义价值观,从而从中获益。
