In this study, we examine the role of work hours in a model that incorporates involvement in both work and family with experiences of work-family conflict and subjective well-being. Self-report data were collected from 383 full-time employees and analysed using structural equation modelling techniques. Results demonstrate that role salience was positively related to behavioural involvement with work and with family. In turn, behavioural family involvement was negatively related to work hours and family-to-work conflict, while behavioural work involvement was positively related to work hours. Behavioural family involvement was also positively related to life satisfaction. Finally, both family-to-work conflict and end-of-workday strain were negatively related to life satisfaction. Our results provide insight into unexpected problems that might arise when employees place overly high importance on work and work long hours. This study serves as a foundation for researchers to examine the interplay of time spent with work and family with other aspects of the work-family interface.
在这项研究中，我们在一个模型中检验了工作时间的作用，该模型将工作和家庭的参与度与工作-家庭冲突和主观幸福感的体验结合起来。我们从 383 名全职员工那里收集了自我报告数据，并使用结构方程模型技术进行了分析。结果表明，角色凸显度与工作和家庭的行为参与度呈正相关。反过来，行为家庭参与度与工作时间和家庭-工作冲突呈负相关，而行为工作参与度与工作时间呈正相关。行为家庭参与度也与生活满意度呈正相关。最后，家庭-工作冲突和工作结束时的紧张感与生活满意度呈负相关。我们的研究结果深入了解了员工过分重视工作和长时间工作可能带来的意外问题。这项研究为研究人员研究花在工作和家庭上的时间与工作-家庭界面的其他方面之间的相互作用提供了基础。
