Abstract

PurposeThis paper aims to examine the effect of leader–member exchange (LMX) and work–family enrichment (WFE) on anxiety and depression, social functioning and loss of confidence as three dimensions of mental health. Furthermore, the paper aims to investigate telework and information and communication technology-based mobile work (TICTM) as a moderator of the effects of LMX and WFE on mental health.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 214 Bangladeshi employees in the public and private sectors via an online survey. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and multi-group analysis were performed to gauge the abovementioned linkages.FindingsThe findings reveal that LMX fosters employees' social functioning while it mitigates their losing confidence. The findings further indicate that WFE enhances social functioning while alleviating anxiety and depression. However, TICTM did not act as a moderator of the effects of LMX and WFE on three dimensions of mental health.Originality/valueDespite a plethora of empirical studies on LMX and WFE, no empirical studies have examined the effect on employee mental health as well as TICTM as a moderator in these linkages in the extant service literature so far. This paper set out to fill in these voids.

领导-成员交换、工作-家庭充实及其对心理健康的影响:远程电子工作的调节作用

目的研究领导-成员交流（LMX）和工作-家庭充实（WFE）对焦虑和抑郁、社会功能和信心丧失这三个心理健康维度的影响。此外，本文旨在研究远程工作和基于信息通信技术的移动工作（TICTM）作为LMX和WFE对心理健康影响的调节因素。设计/方法/方法通过在线调查从214名孟加拉国公共和私营部门员工中收集数据。进行偏最小二乘结构方程建模（PLS-SEM）和多组分析来衡量上述连杆机构。研究结果表明，LMX促进了员工的社会功能，同时减轻了他们失去的信心。研究结果进一步表明，WFE可以增强社交功能，同时减轻焦虑和抑郁。然而，TICTM并不能调节LMX和WFE对心理健康三个维度的影响。原创性/价值尽管有大量关于LMX和WFE的实证研究，但迄今为止，在现有的服务文献中，没有实证研究考察TICTM作为这些联系的调节因素对员工心理健康的影响。这篇论文旨在填补这些空白。
