Family-owned firms display distinct dynamics as compared to other firms. Consequently, the outcomes and consequences of these dynamics are also expected to be different. The aim of this study was to explore the impact of perceived employee-organization psychological distance (EOPD) on the occupational mental health (OMH) of the employees. Considering the complexities associated with employee-employer relationship, the study also investigated how this relationship between PD and OMH might be mediated by psychological safety (PS) perceived by the employees. Furthermore, the study also included proactive personality (PP) as a potential moderator of the relationship between PD and OMH. Results using SEM and fsQCA show a partial mediation effect on psychological safety. The study contributes by examining the distinct nature of family firms and their impact on the mental health of non-family member employees. This study contributes to the family firm literature by adopting a novel methodological approach to unveil the complexity behind the relationship between employees and owner-employers of family firms.
与其他公司相比，家族企业表现出明显的动态特征。因此，这些动态的结果和后果也预计会有所不同。本研究旨在探讨感知到的员工-组织心理距离（EOPD）对员工职业心理健康（OMH）的影响。考虑到员工-雇主关系的复杂性，本研究还调查了员工感知到的心理安全（PS）如何在 PD 和 OMH 之间起到中介作用。此外，本研究还将主动人格（PP）作为 PD 和 OMH 之间关系的潜在调节因素。使用 SEM 和 fsQCA 的结果表明，心理安全存在部分中介效应。本研究通过考察家族企业的独特性质及其对非家族成员员工心理健康的影响做出了贡献。本研究通过采用一种新颖的方法来揭示家族企业员工与所有者-雇主之间关系背后的复杂性，为家族企业文献做出了贡献。
