Recently, work-family scholars have empirically demonstrated the importance of congruence between employees' boundary management preferences and boundary management supplies provided by the work environment in relation to employee attitudes and behavior. However, a theoretically grounded construct that captures this congruence is lacking. The present study addresses this gap by developing the construct and measure of , based on the needs-supplies fit framework. We cross-validate the scale in three independent samples ( = 188, diverse group of employees, = 75, employees from one hospital, and = 81, employees from one car company) and in a fourth sample ( = 458, working parents), we demonstrated the importance of work-nonwork boundary management fit for employee well-being (i.e., stress and work-life conflict). In particular, we confirmed its unique role in predicting employee well-being, above and beyond workload and work interrupting nonwork behaviors. Hence, we argue for considering work-nonwork boundary management fit when studying how work-family policies and organizational culture affect employees in the workplace.
最近，工作与家庭领域的学者通过实证研究证明，员工的边界管理偏好与工作环境所提供的边界管理支持之间的一致性，对于员工的态度和行为具有重要意义。然而，目前缺乏一个基于理论的结构来描述这种一致性。本研究基于需求-支持匹配框架，通过开发“工作-非工作边界管理匹配度”这一结构和测量方法，填补了这一空白。我们在三个独立样本（样本一 = 188，为不同类型的员工群体；样本二 = 75，来自一家医院的员工；样本三 = 81，来自一家汽车公司的员工）中对该量表进行了交叉验证。在第四个样本（样本四 = 458，在职父母）中，我们证明了工作-非工作边界管理匹配度对员工幸福感（即压力和工作-生活冲突）的重要性。特别是，我们证实了它在预测员工幸福感方面的独特作用，这一作用超越了工作量和工作干扰非工作行为的影响。因此，我们主张在研究工作-家庭政策和组织文化如何影响职场员工时，应考虑工作-非工作边界管理匹配度这一因素。
