The present study examined how time pressure at work is transmitted to the home domain and how it affects individuals' (spillover) as well as their partners' relationship satisfaction (crossover). We examined the role of work-related spousal support seeking and proposed that it serves as a mediator of the spillover as well as the crossover process. We further explored whether the proposed spillover-crossover process is gender-contingent. Using a sample of 308 dual-earner couples, we found support for a positive link between time pressure at work and spousal support seeking. As hypothesised, spousal support seeking served also as a crossover mechanism. However, distinct spillover and crossover processes were found for men and women. These findings not only point to a new spillover and crossover mechanism but also highlight gender-specific patterns in the role of support seeking. As this coping strategy is feasible when job stressors are high, it should be considered a part of stress management trainings and organizational practices.
本研究考察了工作中的时间压力如何传递到家庭领域，以及它如何影响个体（溢出效应）及其伴侣的关系满意度（交叉效应）。我们研究了寻求配偶工作支持的作用，并提出它是溢出效应和交叉效应过程的中介。我们进一步探讨了所提出的溢出-交叉效应过程是否因性别而异。通过对308对双职工夫妇的样本进行研究，我们发现工作时间压力与寻求配偶支持之间存在正相关关系。正如假设的那样，寻求配偶支持也起到了交叉机制的作用。然而，男性和女性的溢出效应和交叉效应过程是不同的。这些发现不仅指出了一种新的溢出效应和交叉效应机制，还突出了寻求支持作用中特定性别的模式。由于这种应对策略在工作压力源较高时是可行的，因此应将其视为压力管理培训和组织实践的一部分。
