Abstract

This study probes the temporal nature of work–family balance satisfaction (WFBS). Drawing on distributed connectionist models and conservation of resources (COR) theory, we hypothesize that changes in work and family overload are positively associated with changes in WFBS, and these relationships are mediated by changes in work and family fatigue, respectively. Additionally, we propose that work and family crafting behaviors (decreasing hindering work and family demands) are helpful in building resources that mitigate the relationships above. We tested these hypotheses by sampling 71 full-time employees over a work week. The results identified positive relationships between changes in role overload and changes in WFBS. In addition, we found full support for the moderating role of crafting behaviors in the work domain and partial support for the family domain. Further analyses suggested that employees' work and family crafting behaviors (i.e., decreasing hindering demands) buffered the negative effects of changes in work and family overload on changes in work and family fatigue, respectively. Also, decreasing hindering work demands moderated the indirect effect of changes in work overload on changes in WFBS. We discuss theoretical and practical implications as well as future research directions.

揭示角色过载和工作-家庭平衡满意度的日常变化：一种潜在的成长建模方法

本研究探讨工作家庭平衡满意度的时间性质。利用分布式连接主义模型和资源守恒理论，我们假设工作和家庭负荷的变化与WFBS的变化呈正相关，而这些关系分别由工作和家庭疲劳的变化介导。此外，我们建议工作和家庭的行为(减少阻碍工作和家庭的需求)有助于建立缓解上述关系的资源。我们对71名全职员工进行了一周的抽样调查，以检验这些假设。结果发现角色过载的变化与WFBS的变化之间存在正相关关系。此外，我们发现了对工作领域中制作行为的调节作用的完全支持，以及对家庭领域的部分支持。进一步分析表明，员工的工作和家庭制作行为(即减少阻碍需求)分别缓冲了工作和家庭超负荷变化对工作和家庭疲劳变化的负面影响。此外，减少阻碍性工作需求可以缓和工作负荷变化对工作满意度变化的间接影响。讨论了理论和实践意义以及未来的研究方向。

期刊介绍： "Applied Psychology: An International Review" is the esteemed official journal of the International Association of Applied Psychology (IAAP), a venerable organization established in 1920 that unites scholars and practitioners in the field of applied psychology. This peer-reviewed journal serves as a global platform for the scholarly exchange of research findings within the diverse domain of applied psychology. The journal embraces a wide array of topics within applied psychology, including organizational, cross-cultural, educational, health, counseling, environmental, traffic, and sport psychology. It particularly encourages submissions that enhance the understanding of psychological processes in various applied settings and studies that explore the impact of different national and cultural contexts on psychological phenomena.
