Abstract

The study explored the predictive role of vocational interests in work-family conflict and work-family enrichment in 271 employed heterosexual couples. We administered questionnaires measuring vocational interests, time-based and strain-based work-family conflicts and work-family enrichment. Going beyond prior studies, we (a) utilized a dyadic paradigm to examine actor and partner effects of interest types, (b) considered two characteristics of the interest profile - differentiation and elevation, and (c) simultaneously tested (dis)similarity effects. Actor-partner interdependence modelling and dyadic response surface analysis were employed. The results revealed modest negative actor effects of Investigative, Social, and Enterprising interests on various types of work-family conflict, along with positive actor effects of Social, Enterprising and Conventional interests, profile elevation and differentiation on work-family enrichment. Partner effects supported the interpersonal relevance of people-oriented interest types. The effects obtained were similar for women and men, and evidence generally spoke against the (dis)similarity effects of interests on work-family conflict or enrichment. A higher educational level in women was associated with increased work-family enrichment but also family-work conflict. This study highlights the interdependence of vocational interests in romantic dyads and their contribution to work-family dynamics.

职业兴趣对工作与家庭关系的演员、合作伙伴和（不）相似性影响

本研究探讨了职业兴趣在 271 对就业异性夫妇的工作-家庭冲突和工作-家庭丰富性中的预测作用。我们对职业兴趣、基于时间和压力的工作-家庭冲突以及工作-家庭丰富性进行了问卷调查。在以往研究的基础上，我们：（a）利用二元范式来研究兴趣类型对行为者和伴侣的影响；（b）考虑了兴趣概况的两个特征--差异化和提升；以及（c）同时测试了（不）相似性效应。研究采用了行为者-伙伴相互依存模型和二元响应面分析法。结果表明，调查兴趣、社会兴趣和进取兴趣对各种类型的工作-家庭冲突具有适度的负面行为者效应，而社会兴趣、进取兴趣和传统兴趣、特征提升和差异化对工作-家庭丰富性具有正面行为者效应。伙伴效应支持了以人为本的兴趣类型的人际相关性。女性和男性所获得的效应相似，证据普遍表明兴趣对工作-家庭冲突或丰富性的（不）相似性效应。女性受教育程度越高，其工作-家庭丰富度越高，但家庭-工作冲突也越大。这项研究强调了恋爱关系中职业兴趣的相互依存性及其对工作-家庭动态的影响。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Career Assessment publishes methodologically sound, empirically based studies focusing on the process and techniques by which counselors and others gain understanding of the individual faced with the necessity of making informed career decisions. The term career assessment, as used in this journal, covers the various techniques, tests, inventories, rating scales, interview schedules, surveys, and direct observational methods used in scientifically based practice and research to provide an improved understanding of career decision-making. The focus is not just testing, but all those means developed and used to assess and evaluate individuals and environments in the field of career counseling and development.
