This study extends prior college student employment research by examining health as an outcome variable. Using 2-wave data from a sample of 216 student workers, this study examined work-school conflict as a predictor of psychological and physical health among working college students. Additionally, 3 resource-providing variables--work-school facilitation, supervisor work-school support, and personal fulfillment at work--were tested for buffering effects in the relation between work-school conflict and health. Results demonstrated that work-school conflict was a significant predictor of psychological health but not physical health. All 3 resource-providing variables ameliorated the negative relation between work-school conflict and psychological health, whereas only personal fulfillment weakened the positive relation between work-school conflict and physical symptoms. These findings suggest the benefits of work-school facilitation, supervisor work-school support, and personal fulfillment in minimizing the detrimental effects of work-school conflict on health outcomes. Theoretical and practical implications for researchers, educational institutions, and organizations are discussed.
本研究通过将健康作为一个结果变量来扩展先前关于大学生就业的研究。利用来自216名学生工作者样本的两波数据，本研究考察了工作-学校冲突作为在职大学生心理和身体健康的预测因素。此外，还测试了三个提供资源的变量——工作-学校便利、主管的工作-学校支持和工作中的个人成就感——在工作-学校冲突与健康之间关系中的缓冲作用。结果表明，工作-学校冲突是心理健康的一个重要预测因素，但不是身体健康的预测因素。所有三个提供资源的变量都改善了工作-学校冲突与心理健康之间的负相关关系，而只有个人成就感减弱了工作-学校冲突与身体症状之间的正相关关系。这些发现表明了工作-学校便利、主管的工作-学校支持和个人成就感在最小化工作-学校冲突对健康结果的不利影响方面的益处。讨论了对研究人员、教育机构和组织的理论和实践意义。
