Abstract

Abstract Although studies pay increasing attention to how organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) affects work–family conflict, most research ignores the boundary conditions and underlying mechanisms of this relationship. Drawing on goal interdependence theory and conservation of resources theory, this research sees two types of goal interdependence as important boundary conditions of how helping behavior affects work–family conflict. We use a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods to test our theoretical model. Specifically, using two-wave survey data collected from 386 employees and 90 supervisors in a manufacturing company, our quantitative study shows that the interaction of helping behavior with cooperative goal interdependence is positively associated with work–goal progress, whereas its interaction with competitive goal interdependence is negatively associated with work–goal progress. In turn, work–goal progress is negatively associated with work–family conflict. The results further reveal that the indirect effect of helping behavior on work–family conflict via work–goal progress is positive and significant only when the level of competitive (cooperative) goal interdependence is high (low). We use 196 employees from the same organization to conduct our qualitative study, the results of which further substantiate and extend the findings from our quantitative study. Finally, we discuss the theoretical and practical implications of our findings.

合作与竞争:帮助同事如何影响工作与家庭冲突?
组织公民行为对工作家庭冲突的影响越来越受到关注,但大多数研究忽略了这种关系的边界条件和潜在机制。利用目标相互依赖理论和资源守恒理论,本研究认为两种类型的目标相互依赖是帮助行为如何影响工作家庭冲突的重要边界条件。我们使用定量和定性相结合的方法来检验我们的理论模型。具体而言,利用对某制造企业386名员工和90名主管的两波调查数据,我们的定量研究表明,帮助行为与合作性目标相互依赖的交互作用与工作目标进展呈正相关,而与竞争性目标相互依赖的交互作用与工作目标进展呈负相关。反过来,工作目标的进展与工作-家庭冲突呈负相关。研究结果进一步揭示,只有当竞争(合作)目标相互依赖水平高(低)时,帮助行为通过工作目标进展对工作家庭冲突的间接影响是正向的、显著的。我们使用来自同一组织的196名员工进行定性研究,其结果进一步证实和扩展了定量研究的结果。最后,我们讨论了我们的研究结果的理论和实践意义。
