Family Supportive Supervisor Behavior and Work Support From Spouse: The Mediating Effect of Work-Family Enrichment and the Moderating Effect of Marital Closeness

Abstract

Abstract: Based on resource-gain-development perspective and the interpersonal process model of intimacy, the purpose of the present study was to explore the impact mechanism of family supportive supervisor behavior (FSSB) on the work support from spouse. The current study was conducted with a questionnaire survey by taking 301 Chinese dual-earner couples as the subjects. The questionnaires included Family Supportive Supervisor Behavior Questionnaire, Work-Family Enrichment Questionnaire, Work Support from Spouse Questionnaire and Marital Closeness Questionnaire. The results showed that: (1) family supportive supervisor behavior positively predicted the work support from spouse through increased employee’s work-family enrichment; (2) marital closeness moderated the indirect effect of family supportive supervisor behavior on work support from spouse through work-family enrichment, such that the relationship between work-family enrichment and work support from spouse was stronger and positive among individuals who reported higher levels of marital closeness while it was weaker or null among those who reported lower levels of marital closeness.

Key words: family supportive supervisor behavior, work-family enrichment, work support from spouse, marital closeness

摘要： 本研究基于资源-获取-发展观和亲密度的人际过程模型，探讨家庭支持型主管行为（FSSB）对配偶工作支持的作用机制。采用家庭支持型主管行为问卷、工作-家庭增益问卷、配偶工作支持问卷和夫妻亲密度问卷对301对双职工夫妻进行调查。结果表明：（1）FSSB通过员工的工作-家庭增益显著正向预测配偶工作支持。（2）夫妻亲密度显著调节FSSB通过工作-家庭增益影响配偶工作支持的间接效应。夫妻亲密度水平越高，工作-家庭增益与配偶工作支持的正向关系越强。
