Abstract

Job insecurity has become one of the most prominent job stressors for employees. This study focuses on qualitative job insecurity (QJI) and its spillover effects to the family domain. Despite a positive association between QJI and work-to-family conflict revealed in the literature, research on why and when QJI is related to work-to-family conflict is limited. Drawing from Conservation of Resources theory, this paper empirically examines the mediating role of negative affective process underlying the relationship between QJI and work-to-family conflict as well as the moderating role of core self-evaluations in this process. A four-wave survey study was conducted in a sample of 126 Chinese employees. The results showed that psychological contract violation and job dissatisfaction mediated the relationship between QJI and work-to-family conflict. Unexpectedly, core self-evaluations were found to strengthen (not attenuate) the positive relationships of QJI with employee psychological contract violation and job dissatisfaction.

质性工作不安全感、负性工作影响与工作家庭冲突:核心自我评价的调节作用

工作不安全感已经成为员工最突出的工作压力源之一。本研究聚焦于定性工作不安全感及其对家庭领域的溢出效应。尽管在文献中揭示了QJI与工作-家庭冲突之间的正相关，但关于QJI与工作-家庭冲突相关的原因和何时相关的研究有限。本文借鉴资源守恒理论，实证检验负向情感过程在QJI与工作家庭冲突关系中的中介作用，以及核心自我评价在这一过程中的调节作用。在126名中国员工中进行了四波调查研究。结果表明，心理契约违反和工作不满在QJI与工作家庭冲突的关系中起中介作用。出乎意料的是，核心自我评价强化(而不是减弱)了QJI与员工心理契约违反和工作不满的正相关关系。
