Although there is evidence that pets may help individuals who are facing significant daily stressors, little is known about the benefits of pet-friendly practices for their owners' well-being. Based on the social exchange theory and on the Rusbult investment model, we argue that organizational pet-friendly practices will be viewed as a source of support from an organization that increases workers' organizational identification, which in turn will lead to higher levels of psychological well-being and life satisfaction. For this study, 208 working adults answered an online questionnaire. Results from the study showed that the more pet-friendly practices the higher the workers' organizational identification, which led to higher indices of psychological well-being and life satisfaction. This study contributes to a better understanding of the human-animal interaction and how pets can function as a resource for individuals' well-being at work.
尽管有证据表明宠物可以帮助那些面临巨大日常压力的人，但对于宠物友好型实践对其主人幸福感的益处却知之甚少。基于社会交换理论和 Rusbult 投资模型，我们认为组织的宠物友好型实践将被视为组织支持的源泉，从而增加员工的组织认同感，进而导致更高水平的心理幸福感和生活满意度。在这项研究中，208 名在职成年人回答了在线问卷。研究结果表明，宠物友好型实践越多，员工的组织认同感越高，进而导致更高的心理幸福感和生活满意度指数。本研究有助于更好地理解人类与动物的互动以及宠物如何成为个人工作幸福感的资源。
