Abstract

Achieving the balance between work and family life needs a holistic viewpoint on how these two aspects interact. It poses a significant challenge due to its impact on individuals, organizations, and society. Research suggests that employees engaged in both spheres tend to exhibit more favorable work attitudes, and experience improved health and wellbeing. In this study, we examined the interplay between work–family dynamics and work engagement among 654 university professors in Portugal. Using several statistical methods, including confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, cluster analysis, and multivariate analysis, we identified distinct conflict and facilitation patterns within work–family relationships. Our findings revealed four clusters representing different conflict-facilitation profiles: those characterized by either work → family facilitation or conflict, and, similarly, family → work facilitation or conflict. Notably, we observed a significant association between work engagement and work–family facilitation, particularly evident in dimensions such as vigor and dedication. Absorption showed fewer significant effects than the other dimensions. We discuss these results, suggesting interventions within the university professors’ careers, as well as further research directions.

工作与家庭冲突和促进因素对工作投入的影响
要实现工作与家庭生活之间的平衡,需要从全局的角度来看待这两个方面如何相互影响。由于其对个人、组织和社会的影响,它构成了一项重大挑战。研究表明,参与这两个领域的员工往往会表现出更积极的工作态度,健康和幸福感也会得到改善。在这项研究中,我们考察了葡萄牙 654 名大学教授的工作-家庭动态与工作投入之间的相互作用。我们使用了多种统计方法,包括确证因子分析、相关分析、聚类分析和多元分析,确定了工作与家庭关系中不同的冲突和促进模式。我们的研究结果表明,四个聚类代表了不同的冲突-促进模式:工作→家庭促进模式或冲突模式,以及类似的家庭→工作促进模式或冲突模式。值得注意的是,我们观察到工作投入与工作-家庭促进之间存在显著关联,这在活力和奉献精神等方面尤为明显。与其他维度相比,吸收力的显著影响较小。我们对这些结果进行了讨论,提出了大学教授职业生涯中的干预措施以及进一步的研究方向。
