Research on calling has largely focused on its benefits for employees. This study contends that experiencing work as a moral duty based calling in invisible-dirty occupations can yield both favorable and unfavorable employee outcomes. Whether employees feel burdened or supported in their work and family roles depends on the demands and resources provided by the workplace. In a sample of 175 janitors at a large government hospital designated for treating COVID-19 patients in the national capital region of India, hypothesis testing results support that work calling is positively associated with both positive (job performance, subjective career success), and negative (work-family and family-work conflicts, burnout) outcomes. Further, job demands strengthen the relationship of work calling with work-family and family-work conflicts, and burnout, whereas, job resources augment the relationship between work calling and job performance, and subjective career success.
关于使命感的研究主要集中在其对员工的益处上。本研究认为，在隐形脏活职业中，将工作体验为基于道德责任的使命感可能会产生有利和不利的员工结果。员工在工作和家庭角色中感到负担还是得到支持，取决于工作场所提供的需求和资源。在印度国家首都地区一家专门治疗新冠肺炎患者的大型政府医院的175名清洁工样本中，假设检验结果支持工作使命感与积极结果（工作绩效、主观职业成功）和消极结果（工作-家庭和家庭-工作冲突、倦怠）均呈正相关。此外，工作需求强化了工作使命感与工作-家庭和家庭-工作冲突以及倦怠之间的关系，而工作资源增强了工作使命感与工作绩效以及主观职业成功之间的关系。
