Abstract

This article aims to unearth the association between family social support (FSS) and employee engagement (EE) with the moderating effect of work social support (WSS) and the mediating effect of family interfering work (FIW). This study used a quantitative approach to perform the research and collected 277 replies from a variety of organizations in Saudi Arabia’s Western region using a multi-item questionnaire and analyzed data using IBM SPSS 25 and IBM AMOS 24. The findings show that FIW plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between FSS and EE. However, WSS is found to have no significant moderating effect. The study provides important learning for practicing professionals and policymakers to adopt family-friendly policies and facilities for enhancing the work–life balance of the employees so as to strengthen the engagement of the employees in the organization. Former studies have emphasized the role of social support in buffering work–family conflict, but there is a dearth of studies linking FSS and EE in a moderated mediation. Thus, the present study endeavors to address the above-mentioned gap. Moreover, the notes for future research are also highlighted in the limitations section.

家庭社会支持对员工敬业度的影响:调节因子和中介因子的影响

本文旨在揭示家庭社会支持（FSS）和员工敬业度（EE）与工作社会支持（WSS）的调节作用和家庭干预工作（FIW）的中介作用之间的关系。本研究采用定量方法进行研究，使用多项目问卷从沙特阿拉伯西部地区的各种组织收集了277份回复，并使用IBM SPSS 25和IBM AMOS 24分析数据。研究结果表明，FIW在FSS和EE之间的关系中起部分中介作用，而WSS没有显著的调节作用。该研究为执业专业人士和决策者提供了重要的学习，以采取有利于家庭的政策和设施，增强员工的工作与生活平衡，从而加强员工在组织中的参与度。以前的研究强调了社会支持在缓冲工作-家庭冲突中的作用，但缺乏将FSS和EE联系在适度调解中的研究。因此，本研究试图解决上述差距。此外，限制部分还强调了未来研究的注意事项。

期刊介绍： Business Perspectives and Research (BPR) aims to publish conceptual, empirical and applied research. The empirical research published in BPR focuses on testing, extending and building management theory. The goal is to expand and enhance the understanding of business and management through empirical investigation and theoretical analysis. BPR is also a platform for insightful and theoretically strong conceptual and review papers which would contribute to the body of knowledge. BPR seeks to advance the understanding of for-profit and not-for-profit organizations through empirical and conceptual work. It also publishes critical review of newly released books under Book Review section. The aim is to popularize and encourage discussion on ideas expressed in newly released books connected to management and allied disciplines. BPR also periodically publishes management cases grounded in theory, and communications in the form of research notes or comments from researchers and practitioners on published papers for critiquing and/or extending thinking on the area under consideration. The overarching aim of Business Perspectives and Research is to encourage original/innovative thinking through a scientific approach.
