Abstract

Drawing upon role balance theory and living systems theory, this paper aims to examine the effect of transformational leadership on satisfaction with work–life balance. We explore the mediating role of collective regulations (global team reflexivity) and the moderating role of individual regulations (self-consciousness). A cross-sectional study (involving 358 employees in French enterprises) showed that the relationship between transformational leadership and satisfaction with work–life balance involved an indirect effect through global team reflexivity. This mediation was moderated by self-consciousness. These results indicated that transformational leadership enhanced collective regulations and that collective regulations favored satisfaction with work–life balance. In addition, collective regulations compensated failure of individual regulations. This study confirms the interest of integrating leadership and regulation theories when studying the management of work–life balance. Organizations should promote transformational leadership and managers should pay attention to team reflexivity. These two factors may be effective both in the workplace and outside, by promoting satisfaction with work–life balance.

本文以角色平衡理论和生活系统理论为基础，旨在研究变革型领导对工作与生活平衡满意度的影响。我们探讨了集体规范（全球团队反思性）的中介作用和个人规范（自我意识）的调节作用。一项横截面研究（涉及 358 名法国企业员工）显示，变革型领导与工作生活平衡满意度之间的关系通过全球团队反射性产生间接影响。这种中介作用受到自我意识的调节。这些结果表明，变革型领导力增强了集体规章制度，而集体规章制度有利于提高工作与生活平衡的满意度。此外，集体规章制度还能弥补个人规章制度的不足。这项研究证实，在研究工作与生活的平衡管理时，将领导力理论和调节理论结合起来很有意义。组织应促进变革型领导，管理者应关注团队的反思性。这两个因素在工作场所内外都能有效促进工作与生活平衡的满意度。
