Organizational support goes beyond the work domain, supporting workers' family role and thus generating resources that lead to work-to-family enrichment. Workers may invest these resources in improving their, and their family's, diet quality. However, data on the link between work resources, enrichment and diet quality during the COVID-19 pandemic is still emerging. The present study contributes to this literature by exploring the actor and partner effects between perceived workplace support for families, work-to-family enrichment, and diet quality in different-sex dual-earner parents with adolescent children; the potential mediating role of work-to-family enrichment between perceived workplace support for families and diet quality was also explored. A sample of 430 different-sex dual-earner parents and one of their adolescent children (mean age 13.0 years, 53.7% female) were recruited in Rancagua, Chile, during March and June 2020. Mothers and fathers responded to a measure of work-to-family enrichment, and a measure of Perceived Workplace Support for Families. The three family members answered the Adapted Healthy Eating Index. Analyses were conducted using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model and structural equation modelling. Results showed that fathers' perceived workplace support for families positively and directly affected their own diet quality (actor effect) as well as the mothers' diet quality (partner effect), while indirectly positively affected the adolescents' diet quality via work-to-family enrichment (partner effect). Mothers' perceived workplace support for families enhanced their own work-to-family enrichment, which in turn improved their diet quality (actor effects). These results suggest that resources that both parents acquire through family-friendly workplace policies have positive effects on the three family members' diet quality by different mechanisms. Policymakers and organizations must aim to promote family-friendly workplace policies, particularly during ongoing crisis such as a pandemic.
组织支持超越了工作领域，支持员工的家庭角色，从而产生资源，导致工作与家庭的丰富。员工可以利用这些资源来改善他们和他们家庭的饮食质量。然而，关于工作资源、丰富度和 COVID-19 大流行期间饮食质量之间联系的数据仍在出现。本研究通过探索不同性别双收入父母（有青少年子女）中感知到的工作场所对家庭的支持、工作与家庭的丰富度与饮食质量之间的演员和伙伴效应，为这一文献做出了贡献；还探讨了工作与家庭的丰富度在感知到的工作场所对家庭的支持与饮食质量之间的潜在中介作用。在智利兰奇瓜，于 2020 年 3 月至 6 月期间招募了 430 名不同性别双收入父母及其一名青少年子女（平均年龄 13.0 岁，53.7%为女性）。母亲和父亲回答了工作与家庭的丰富度的测量，以及感知到的工作场所对家庭的支持的测量。三个家庭成员回答了适应健康饮食指数。分析采用演员-伙伴相互依存模型和结构方程模型进行。结果表明，父亲对工作场所对家庭的感知支持对其自身的饮食质量（演员效应）以及母亲的饮食质量（伙伴效应）产生积极的直接影响，而通过工作与家庭的丰富度对青少年的饮食质量产生间接的积极影响（伙伴效应）。母亲对工作场所对家庭的感知支持增强了他们自身的工作与家庭的丰富度，从而提高了他们的饮食质量（演员效应）。这些结果表明，父母双方通过家庭友好型工作场所政策获得的资源通过不同的机制对三个家庭成员的饮食质量产生积极影响。政策制定者和组织必须旨在促进家庭友好型工作场所政策，特别是在像大流行这样的持续危机期间。
