Abstract:

According to self-determination theory and conservation of resources theory, based on 412 two-point questionnaires, this paper discusses the influence of two-way work-family conflict on the innovative behavior of knowledge workers by means of hierarchical regression analysis and others, and verifies the mediation function of autonomous motivation and the moderation function of social support. The results show that the two-way work-family conflicts both negatively influence innovative behavior of knowledge workers, but the impact strength of work-family conflict in different directions on the innovative behavior of knowledge workers is different:compared with work-to-family conflict, family-to-work conflict has a stronger negative impact on innovative behavior of knowledge workers; Autonomous motivation plays a mediating role in the process of two-way work-family conflict influencing innovative behavior of knowledge workers; Family support perception in perceived social support moderates the mediation role of autonomous motivation through which work-to-family conflict influences knowledge workers' innovative behavior.

Key words: work-family dual conflict, innovative behavior, autonomous motivation, perceived social support
