This study assessed the associations of employee's perceptions of family-supportive supervisor behaviors (FSSB) and their psychological distress across four occupational populations ( = 3778): Information technology; healthcare; military-connected Veterans; and National Guard service members. Data were gathered and analyzed from four larger archival datasets to compare differences in these relationships. Results revealed significant negative relationships between employee reports of FSSB and their psychological distress within occupations, as expected. Furthermore, results revealed significant differences across occupational populations for employee reports of both FSSB and psychological distress. Hierarchical moderated multiple regression analyses were conducted to examine the extent of these mean differences across groups. Results revealed significant differences among these four groups such that the military-connected Veteran employees demonstrated significantly stronger associations of FSSB, and psychological distress compared to the other three occupations of information technology, healthcare, and National Guard service members. These findings suggest the importance of FSSB to worker psychological health across a variety of occupational populations, specifically noting the importance and presence of FSSB for Veteran employees' psychological distress in civilian workplaces. Practical implications include the need for training leaders on how to better support employees' work and non-work lives, mental health, and well-being.
本研究评估了员工对支持家庭的主管行为（FSSB）的看法及其在四个职业群体（=3778）中的心理困扰之间的关联：信息技术；医疗保健；与军队有关的退伍军人；以及国民警卫队成员。从四个更大的档案数据集中收集和分析数据，以比较这些关系中的差异。结果显示，员工对 FSSB 的报告与其心理困扰之间存在显著的负相关关系，这是预期的。此外，结果还显示，员工对 FSSB 和心理困扰的报告在职业群体之间存在显著差异。进行了分层调节多元回归分析，以检验这些群体之间的平均差异程度。结果表明，这四个群体之间存在显著差异，与其他三个职业（信息技术、医疗保健和国民警卫队成员）相比，与军队有关的退伍军人员工表现出 FSSB 和心理困扰之间更强的关联。这些发现表明，FSSB 对各种职业群体的工人心理健康很重要，特别是注意到 FSSB 对退伍军人员工在民用工作场所的心理困扰的重要性和存在性。实际影响包括需要培训领导者如何更好地支持员工的工作和非工作生活、心理健康和幸福感。
