Abstract

Introduction

The dynamics pertaining to work-family interface such as conflict, enrichment, etc. have received considerable scholarly attention in social sciences. However, the daily processes that are involved have been examined to a lesser extent, least of all including the role played by emotions.

Objective

This study aimed at examining, consistently with the Affective Events Theory, if positive and negative affect experienced during the working day played a mediational role in the associations between daily levels of work-family conflict and work-family enrichment on one side, and work-family balance on the other. Moreover, the moderating cross-level role of trait emotional stability was examined.

Method

The study included a convenience sample of 104 Italian employees who completed a diary-book over five consecutive working days.

Results

Multilevel-modelling results highlighted, controlling for emotional stability, a mediational role of only daily positive affect in the relationships between both work-family conflict and enrichment on the one side and work-family balance on the other side.

Conclusion

This study contributed to the literature emphasizing the role of positive affective states experienced at the workplace and their connections with the private life. Limitations and implications for research and practice are described.

别担心,要快乐!在工作中产生积极影响,在家中保持更大的平衡。工作与家庭平衡的日记研究
与工作-家庭界面有关的动态,如冲突、致富等,在社会科学领域受到了相当多的学术关注。然而,涉及的日常过程在较小程度上得到了研究,其中最不包括情绪所起的作用。目的根据情感事件理论,探讨工作日的积极和消极情绪在日常工作家庭冲突水平、工作家庭丰富性水平和工作家庭平衡水平之间的中介作用。此外,还考察了特质情绪稳定性的跨水平调节作用。方法研究选取了104名意大利员工作为方便样本,这些员工在连续5个工作日内完成了日记。结果在控制情绪稳定性的情况下,在工作家庭冲突与充实与工作家庭平衡的关系中,只有日常积极情绪具有中介作用。结论本研究为强调职场积极情感状态的作用及其与私人生活的联系的文献做出了贡献。描述了研究和实践的局限性和影响。
