The COVID-19 outbreak has blurred the boundaries between work and personal life, making the concept of work-life balance (WLB) even more important. Based on a three-source (employees, family members, and supervisors) sample ( = 436) of working professionals, we investigated the importance of enriched job design for employee WLB. In addition, on the basis of the job demand-control (JD-C) model, we examined whether organizationally imposed formalization and employees' individual adaptive personality traits (proactive personality and resilience) act as boundary conditions that strengthen this positive relationship. First, we conducted a supplementary analysis to investigate further which of the enriched job design characteristics play the most important role in our three-way interaction models predicting WLB. Then we discuss implications for theory and practice.
新冠疫情模糊了工作与个人生活之间的界限,使得工作与生活平衡(WLB)的概念变得更加重要。基于一个由员工、家庭成员和主管三方组成的样本(n = 436),我们对丰富的工作设计对员工工作与生活平衡的重要性进行了调查。此外,基于工作需求-控制(JD-C)模型,我们考察了组织层面施加的形式化以及员工个人的适应性人格特质(积极主动人格和心理韧性)是否作为边界条件强化了这种正向关系。首先,我们进行了一项补充分析,以进一步探究在预测工作与生活平衡的三方交互模型中,丰富的工作设计特征中的哪些因素发挥着最重要的作用。然后我们讨论了对理论和实践的启示。
