Abstract
The study of work-family conflict (WFC) and work-family policies (WFP) and
their impact on the well-being of employees in the tourism sector is
increasingly attracting the attention of researchers. To overcome the adverse
effects of WFC, managers should promote WFP, which contribute to increased
well-being at work and employees' commitment. This paper aims to analyze the
impact of WFP accessibility and organizational support on well-being directly
and by mediating the organizational commitment that these policies might
encourage. In addition, we also study whether these relationships vary
according to gender and employee seniority. To test the hypotheses derived from
this objective, we collected 530 valid and completed questionnaires from
workers in the tourism sector in Spain, which we analyzed using structural
equation modeling based on the PLS-SEM approach. The results show that human
resource management must consider the importance of organizational support for
workers to make WFP accessible and generate organizational commitment and
well-being at work.
