Abstract

Family caregivers, who are managing the demands of work while simultaneously giving care to an adult family member, are a growing segment of the workforce. The current paper explores the struggle and joys of family caregiving employees, who manage work demands while simultaneously caring for an adult family member. We developed and tested a theoretical model of 311 family caregivers in the U.S. workforce that considered the simultaneous demands (burdens) and resources (gains) paths using the theoretical framework of the work-home resources model (ten Brummelhuis & Bakker, 2012). Further, we consider the role that these play as the family domain spilled over into the work domain and had both behavioral and affective outcomes. We found that family caregiving operated on simultaneous separate paths, confirming the bittersweet nature of the phenomenon. Through a demands path we found caregiving burdens contributed to experiences of family-work conflict and required greater work concessions (job and career) while also reducing job satisfaction. At the same time, through a resources path we found caregiving gains contributed to experiences of family-work enrichment and contributed to satisfaction (job and life) but did not reduce the need for work concessions. As such, considering caregiving burdens and gains simultaneously helps us to understand that, although caregiving results in more work concessions, it also improves employees' overall satisfaction.

成人家庭护理对工作场所行为和态度的苦乐影响
家庭照顾者在照顾成年家庭成员的同时还要兼顾工作需求,他们在劳动力队伍中的比例越来越大。本文探讨了提供家庭照顾的员工的挣扎与喜悦,他们在满足工作需求的同时还要照顾成年家庭成员。我们利用工作-家庭资源模型(ten Brummelhuis & Bakker,2012 年)的理论框架,开发并测试了美国劳动力队伍中 311 名家庭照顾者的理论模型,该模型考虑了需求(负担)和资源(收益)同时存在的路径。此外,我们还考虑了这些因素在家庭领域蔓延到工作领域并产生行为和情感结果时所发挥的作用。我们发现,家庭护理同时在不同的路径上运行,这证实了这一现象的苦乐交织性质。通过需求路径,我们发现照顾家庭的负担导致了家庭与工作之间的冲突,需要在工作上做出更大的让步(工作和事业),同时也降低了工作满意度。与此同时,通过资源路径,我们发现护理收益有助于丰富家庭工作体验,提高满意度(工作和生活),但并没有减少工作让步的需求。因此,同时考虑照护负担和照护收益有助于我们理解,虽然照护会导致更多的工作让步,但也会提高员工的整体满意度。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Vocational Behavior publishes original empirical and theoretical articles offering unique insights into the realms of career choice, career development, and work adjustment across the lifespan. These contributions are not only valuable for academic exploration but also find applications in counseling and career development programs across diverse sectors such as colleges, universities, business, industry, government, and the military. The primary focus of the journal centers on individual decision-making regarding work and careers, prioritizing investigations into personal career choices rather than organizational or employer-level variables. Example topics encompass a broad range, from initial career choices (e.g., choice of major, initial work or organization selection, organizational attraction) to the development of a career, work transitions, work-family management, and attitudes within the workplace (such as work commitment, multiple role management, and turnover).
