Dual-income families with children face the challenge of balancing work and family to achieve greater wellbeing, especially in the context of the health emergency resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. A quantitative methodology was used to examine the direct and indirect intraindividual and interindividual relationships between the workplace family support perception, work-family balance, and job and family satisfaction.
The study involved 454 couples of mothers and fathers of children between 12 and 16 years of age, workers from two regions in Chile. The questionnaires included the scales of perceived workplace support for families, work-family balance, job satisfaction, and family satisfaction.
The results provide new insights into the positive direct and indirect link between workplace family support perceptions, work-family balance, and satisfaction with work and family domains in mothers and fathers with paid work. In addition, they show the role of work-family balance as an underlying mechanism through which greater job satisfaction (at the intra- and interindividual level) and family satisfaction (at the intra- and interindividual level) would be possible.
New insights are provided on the direct and indirect positive relationship with symmetrical crossovers in mothers and fathers between perceived workplace support for the family, work-family balance, job satisfaction, and family satisfaction.
有孩子的双收入家庭面临着平衡工作与家庭以实现更高幸福感的挑战，尤其是在2019冠状病毒病大流行引发的健康紧急状况背景下。采用定量方法研究工作场所家庭支持感知、工作与家庭平衡以及工作和家庭满意度之间的个体内和个体间直接与间接关系。
该研究涉及454对夫妻，他们是12至16岁孩子的父母，来自智利两个地区的工人。问卷包括工作场所对家庭支持的感知量表、工作与家庭平衡量表、工作满意度量表和家庭满意度量表。
研究结果为有带薪工作的父母在工作场所家庭支持感知、工作与家庭平衡以及工作和家庭领域满意度之间的正向直接和间接联系提供了新见解。此外，研究结果还显示了工作与家庭平衡作为一种潜在机制的作用，通过这一机制，有可能在个体内和个体间层面提高工作满意度，在个体内和个体间层面提高家庭满意度。
研究结果为工作场所对家庭的支持感知、工作与家庭平衡、工作满意度和家庭满意度之间在父母中存在的具有对称交叉性的直接和间接正向关系提供了新见解。
