Abstract

Does work-family conflict (WFC) cause psychological strain or vice versa? How long do these effects take to unfold? What is the role of persistent WFC (or strain) levels in these processes? Prior research has left some of these questions open: Our systematic review reveals that WFC-strain studies have primarily used short (e.g., hours) or long (e.g., years) measurement lags, leaving mid-long lags underexplored. Moreover, while many work-family theories imply long-term effects, prior longitudinal research has often relied on cross-lagged panel models that assume effects to be solely within-person, not considering persistent between-person differences. We tested this assumption in five three-wave survey studies (N = 26,133) with varying lags (1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year) and found it to fail in all cases. Employing the random-intercept crossed-lagged panel, a new approach in WFC research, our results indicate that the effects between WFC and strain (exhaustion, perceived stress, and affective rumination) depend primarily on longer term WFC (or strain) levels. In contrast, short-term deviations from these levels (within-person effects) play a minor role. These findings suggest that the effects between WFC and strain may be more persistent than previously assumed, opening avenues for further theoretical and empirical development.

工作与家庭的冲突和压力:重新审视理论、因果关系方向和纵向动态。
工作与家庭冲突(WFC)会导致心理压力吗?这些影响需要多长时间才能显现?持续的工作-家庭冲突(或压力)水平在这些过程中起什么作用?之前的研究对其中的一些问题还没有给出答案:我们的系统性综述显示,WFC-应变研究主要使用短(如小时)或长(如年)测量滞后期,对中长期滞后期的研究不足。此外,虽然许多工作-家庭理论都暗示着长期效应,但之前的纵向研究往往依赖于交叉滞后的面板模型,这种模型假定效应只存在于人与人之间,而不考虑人与人之间的持续差异。我们在不同滞后期(1 天、1 周、1 个月、6 个月、1 年)的五项三波调查研究(样本数 = 26 133)中检验了这一假设,发现它在所有情况下都不成立。采用随机截距交叉滞后面板(WFC 研究中的一种新方法),我们的研究结果表明,WFC 与应变(疲惫、感知压力和情感反刍)之间的影响主要取决于长期的 WFC(或应变)水平。相比之下,与这些水平的短期偏差(人内效应)所起的作用较小。这些研究结果表明,WFC 和应激之间的影响可能比之前假设的更为持久,这为进一步的理论和实证发展开辟了道路。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有)。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Applied Psychology® focuses on publishing original investigations that contribute new knowledge and understanding to fields of applied psychology (excluding clinical and applied experimental or human factors, which are better suited for other APA journals). The journal primarily considers empirical and theoretical investigations that enhance understanding of cognitive, motivational, affective, and behavioral psychological phenomena in work and organizational settings. These phenomena can occur at individual, group, organizational, or cultural levels, and in various work settings such as business, education, training, health, service, government, or military institutions. The journal welcomes submissions from both public and private sector organizations, for-profit or nonprofit. It publishes several types of articles, including: 1.Rigorously conducted empirical investigations that expand conceptual understanding (original investigations or meta-analyses). 2.Theory development articles and integrative conceptual reviews that synthesize literature and generate new theories on psychological phenomena to stimulate novel research. 3.Rigorously conducted qualitative research on phenomena that are challenging to capture with quantitative methods or require inductive theory building.
