Job Embeddedness, Work-Family Balance and Family Relationship: Based on the Employees and Their Spouses Paired Perspective

Abstract

Abstract:

In this study, using a resource conservation theoretical base, we explore the relation among job embeddedness, work-family balance and family relationship. Data are collected from a sample of 234 married fulltime employees and their spouses. The results of structural equation model show that: (1) Job embeddedness of employees has significant positive effects on self-rated work-family facilitation and family-work facilitation, and exerts a negative effect on self-rated family-work conflict significantly. (2) Job embeddedness of employees has significant positive effects on spouse-rated work-family conflict and family-work conflict. (3)The effect of spouse-rated work-family conflict on spouse-perceived family conflict is positive. Additionally, the effect of spouse-rated family-work conflict on spouse-perceived family cohesion is negative. What's more, spouse-rated family-work facilitation has a significant negative effect on spouse-perceived family conflict, and has a significant positive effect on spouse-perceived family cohesion. (4) Self-rated work-family facilitation and spouse-rated work-family conflict mediates the effect of job embeddedness on spouse-perceived family conflict. Spouse-rated family-work conflict plays a mediating role in the relation of job embeddedness and spouse-perceived family cohesion.

Key words: job embeddedness, work-family conflict, family-work conflict, work-family facilitation, family-work facilitation, family conflict, family cohesion
