Dual-income families are challenged by several issues in terms of conciliation between the working environment, the family context and the management of children. This paper, consistently with spillover and crossover hypotheses, aimed at examining the intermediate role of work-family balance, linking on work-family organizational support, work-to-family enrichment and conflict as predictors, and on family-life satisfaction of dual-income families' both partners as final outcomes. It was expected that work-family organizational support would be related to lower work-to-family conflict and higher enrichment and, through them, with higher work-family balance; moreover, a positive association between work-family balance and family-life satisfaction of both partners was assumed. 390 double-income heterosexual couples participated in our study; 76.2% of the couples were parents. Structural equation modelling results showed that work-family balance was negatively predicted by work-to-family conflict and positively predicted by work-to-family enrichment. Furthermore, work-family organizational support positively predicted work-to-family enrichment, which also mediated its effect on work-family balance. Crossover and spillover effects were also confirmed, given that positive associations between work-family balance and family-life satisfaction of both partners were found. Implications for future research and organizational interventions aimed at both improving work-family balance and promoting greater satisfaction in family life are discussed.
双收入家庭在工作环境、家庭环境和子女管理之间的协调方面面临着几个问题。本文与溢出和交叉假说一致，旨在检验工作-家庭平衡的中介作用，将工作-家庭组织支持、工作对家庭的充实和冲突作为预测因素，将双收入家庭双方伴侣的家庭生活满意度作为最终结果。预计工作-家庭组织支持将与较低的工作对家庭冲突和较高的充实度相关，并通过它们与较高的工作-家庭平衡相关；此外，假设工作-家庭平衡与双方伴侣的家庭生活满意度之间存在正相关。390对双收入异性恋夫妇参与了我们的研究；76.2%的夫妇是父母。结构方程建模结果表明，工作对家庭的冲突对工作-家庭平衡有负向预测作用，工作对家庭的充实对工作-家庭平衡有正向预测作用。此外，工作-家庭组织支持对工作对家庭的充实有正向预测作用，工作对家庭的充实也介导了其对工作-家庭平衡的影响。交叉和溢出效应也得到了证实，因为发现工作-家庭平衡与双方伴侣的家庭生活满意度之间存在正相关。讨论了对未来研究和组织干预的启示，旨在改善工作-家庭平衡并提高家庭生活满意度。
