Abstract

In this study, we investigate the spillover-crossover effects of two types of work passion (i.e., harmonious and obsessive) for dual-earner couples. Integrating the job demands-resources theory and the spillover-crossover model, we propose that one partner's harmonious work passion indirectly predicts high work engagement and low work burnout for the other partner through positive affect crossover. Similarly, the partner's obsessive work passion indirectly contributes to low work engagement and high work burnout for the other partner through negative stress crossover. We also suggest that perspective taking of the partner strengthens the proposed positive transmissions and mitigates the negative transmissions. We tested the hypotheses by sampling 129 dual-earner couples in the United States at two time points. Results confirmed that one partner's harmonious work passion and obsessive work passion both had indirect effects on the other partner's work burnout and work engagement via the positive crossover of positive affect and the negative crossover of stress, respectively. Our findings also suggested that the partner's perspective taking significantly shaped the spillover-crossover process between harmonious work passion and the partner's work engagement and burnout. We discuss implications for research and practice as well as future research directions.

你的工作激情会在回家的路上走很长一段路：在双职工夫妇中测试工作激情的溢出和交叉模型

在这项研究中，我们调查了两种类型的工作激情（即和谐和痴迷）对双职工夫妇的溢出交叉效应。结合工作需求资源理论和溢出交叉模型，我们提出，一方的和谐工作激情通过正向情感交叉间接预测另一方的高工作投入度和低工作倦怠。同样，伴侣痴迷的工作激情通过负压力交叉间接导致另一方的工作投入度低和工作倦怠感高。我们还建议，从合作伙伴的角度出发，加强拟议的积极传播，缓解消极传播。我们通过在两个时间点对美国129对双职工夫妇进行抽样来检验这些假设。结果证实，一方的和谐工作激情和强迫性工作激情分别通过积极情感的正向交叉和压力的负向交叉对另一方的工作倦怠和工作投入产生间接影响。我们的研究结果还表明，伴侣的视角选择显著影响了和谐工作激情与伴侣的工作投入和倦怠之间的溢出交叉过程。我们讨论了对研究和实践的影响以及未来的研究方向。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Vocational Behavior publishes original empirical and theoretical articles offering unique insights into the realms of career choice, career development, and work adjustment across the lifespan. These contributions are not only valuable for academic exploration but also find applications in counseling and career development programs across diverse sectors such as colleges, universities, business, industry, government, and the military. The primary focus of the journal centers on individual decision-making regarding work and careers, prioritizing investigations into personal career choices rather than organizational or employer-level variables. Example topics encompass a broad range, from initial career choices (e.g., choice of major, initial work or organization selection, organizational attraction) to the development of a career, work transitions, work-family management, and attitudes within the workplace (such as work commitment, multiple role management, and turnover).
