Abstract

ABSTRACT Evidence suggests work–family conflict can lead to numerous negative consequences in the workplace, including behaviors detrimental to the organization and its members, such as counterproductive work behaviors (CWBs). Yet relatively little research has addressed the relationship between work–family conflict and CWBs. This study builds on the structural model of stress and regulatory focus theory to addresses this major gap in the literature. Our model proposes that negative affect and self-regulation can help us understand how and why work–family conflict may be related to CWBs. We hypothesize that work–family conflict is positively related to negative affect, which in turn is positively related to CWBs, and regulatory focus moderates the relationship between work–family conflict and CWBs. A survey of 332 employees shows work–family conflict is directly related to CWBs, indirectly related to CWBs via negative affect, and the relationship is moderated by regulatory prevention focus. We discuss implications for theory and practice.

工作-家庭冲突与反生产行为:调节焦点的调节作用和情感的中介作用

有证据表明，工作家庭冲突会在工作场所导致许多负面后果，包括对组织及其成员有害的行为，如反生产行为(CWBs)。然而，相对较少的研究涉及工作-家庭冲突与CWBs之间的关系。本研究建立在压力和调节焦点理论的结构模型上，以解决这一文献中的主要空白。我们的模型提出，负面影响和自我调节可以帮助我们理解工作-家庭冲突如何以及为什么与CWBs相关。我们假设工作-家庭冲突与负向情感正相关，负向情感对不良行为负向情感正相关，监管焦点调节了工作-家庭冲突与不良行为负向情感的关系。通过对332名员工的调查发现，工作-家庭冲突与不良行为有直接关系，通过负面影响与不良行为有间接关系，并受监管预防重点的调节。我们讨论了理论和实践的含义。
