The COVID-19 pandemic changed the work-family interface dynamics in some families. For couples who kept earning a double income during the pandemic, their family demands may entail a loss of psychological resources that affect the work domain. This study explored the intra-individual and inter-individual (crossover) direct and indirect effects of family-to-work conflict (FtoWC) on psychological distress and job satisfaction in a non-probabilistic sample of 860 different-sex dual-earner parents with adolescent children from Temuco and Rancagua, Chile. Mothers and fathers answered an online questionnaire measuring FtoWC, the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale, and the Overall Job Satisfaction Scale. The data were analyzed using the actor-partner interdependence model with structural equation modeling. Results showed that a higher FtoWC is linked to greater psychological distress and lower job satisfaction in both parents. In contrast, psychological distress is directly linked to lower job satisfaction in fathers. In both fathers and mothers, they and their partners' FtoWC were indirectly linked to lower job satisfaction via the fathers' psychological distress. These findings indicate the need for gender-sensitive social and labor policies aimed at reducing the conflict between family and work to increase job satisfaction in both parents and reduce psychological distress, particularly in fathers.
新冠疫情改变了一些家庭中工作与家庭的互动动态。对于在疫情期间仍保持双收入的夫妻来说，家庭需求可能会导致心理资源的损耗，进而影响工作领域。本研究在一个非概率样本中，探讨了家庭-工作冲突（FtoWC）对心理困扰和工作满意度的个体内及个体间（交叉）直接和间接影响。该样本来自智利特木科和兰卡瓜，包含860名育有青春期子女的不同性别的双职工父母。父母们回答了一份在线问卷，问卷测量了FtoWC、抑郁、焦虑和压力量表以及总体工作满意度量表。使用带有结构方程模型的actor-partner相互依赖模型对数据进行分析。结果显示，较高的FtoWC与父母双方更大的心理困扰和更低的工作满意度相关。相比之下，心理困扰与父亲较低的工作满意度直接相关。在父亲和母亲中，他们自己以及伴侣的FtoWC都通过父亲的心理困扰与较低的工作满意度间接相关。这些发现表明，需要制定对性别敏感的社会和劳动政策，以减少家庭与工作之间的冲突，提高父母双方的工作满意度，并减少心理困扰，尤其是父亲的心理困扰。
