American workers are spending more time at work and less time at home than ever before--a consequence of which is an inability to devote adequate attention to nonwork activities. Utilizing a literal replication format (Lykken, 1968), the authors conducted two studies to examine the effects of work-induced guilt and the ability to manage work resources on job and life satisfaction. The authors found that work-induced guilt had its most negative association on job and life satisfaction when individuals were unable to manage work resources. Interestingly, the authors also found that work-induced guilt led to increases in job and life satisfaction when coupled with the ability to manage resources. Implications for theory and practice, strengths and limitations, and future research directions are discussed.
美国员工在工作上花费的时间比以往任何时候都更多，而在家的时间则更少——其结果是无法充分关注工作以外的活动。作者采用文字复制格式（莱肯，1968年）进行了两项研究，以检验工作引发的内疚感以及管理工作资源的能力对工作满意度和生活满意度的影响。作者发现，当个人无法管理工作资源时，工作引发的内疚感与工作满意度和生活满意度的关联最为负面。有趣的是，作者还发现，当工作引发的内疚感与管理资源的能力相结合时，会导致工作满意度和生活满意度的提高。文中讨论了对理论与实践的启示、优点与局限性以及未来的研究方向。
