Abstract
Abstract As work intensity continues to become one of the challenging issues at work, the need to understand the consequences and the pathways as well as the boundary conditions, become very important. Drawing on the Job Demand-Resource (JD-R) theory, this study examines how work intensity affects the quality of work life (QWL) through burnout and examines the moderating role of psychological detachment in the relationship between burnout and QWL. Data was collected from 400 frontline workers and supervisors from 30 hotels and analyzed using the Hayes Process Macros and AMOS. The study found that work intensity negatively affects QWL and this relationship was mediated by burnout. Psychological detachment did not moderate the relationship between burnout and QWL.
摘要随着工作强度继续成为工作中具有挑战性的问题之一,了解后果、途径以及边界条件的必要性变得非常重要。本研究借鉴工作需求资源理论,考察了工作强度如何通过倦怠影响工作生活质量,并考察了心理超然在倦怠与工作生活质量关系中的调节作用。数据来自30家酒店的400名一线员工和主管,并使用Hayes Process Macros和AMOS进行分析。研究发现,工作强度对QWL有负面影响,这种关系是由倦怠介导的。心理超然并没有调节倦怠与QWL之间的关系。
