摘要

目的探讨工作与生活平衡(WLB)在老年工人中的影响,以扩展对WLB的研究。从理论上讲,这项研究表明,对于那些“年轻”的老年工人来说,年龄对WLB和幸福感之间关系的心理益处可能比那些接近或超过退休年龄的工人更强。本研究测试了一个调节中介模型,通过该模型,WLB对焦虑和抑郁(通过工作压力)的影响受到年龄的调节。设计/方法/方法来自三个年龄较大的群体(55-59岁、60-64岁和65岁以上)的512名新西兰员工的调查数据。发现这项研究发现,WLB可以减轻工作压力,降低焦虑和抑郁。工作压力对焦虑和抑郁有正向影响,并部分介导WLB的影响。随着年龄的增长,发现了显著的相互作用效应,较低年龄组(55-59岁)报告称WLB的益处最强,这种效应随着员工年龄的增长而减少,但仍然显著。社会影响即使在关注老年工人时,研究结果也表明,尽管所有年龄组都认为WLB有益,但年轻的老年工人从WLB中获得的幸福感更强。独创性/价值本文对WLB对老年工人幸福感的重要性是否不同的问题提供了新的见解。

The effects of work-life balance on the well-being of older workers: same-same or same-different?
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to extend the study of work-life balance (WLB) by exploring the influence of WLB amongst older workers. Theoretically, this study suggests that the psychological benefits of age on relationships between WLB and well-being might be stronger for those “younger” older workers than those working toward or beyond retirement age. This study tests a moderated mediation model whereby the effects of WLB on anxiety and depression (through job stress) are moderated by age.Design/methodology/approachSurvey data from 512 New Zealand employees in three older age cohorts (55–59 years, 60–64 and 65+ years).FindingsThis study finds that WLB reduces job stress and leads to lower anxiety and depression. Job stress positively influences anxiety and depression and partially mediates the influence of WLB. Significant interaction effects are found by age, with the lower age cohort (55–59 years) reporting the strongest benefits from WLB and this effect reduces as employees get older but remains significant.Social implicationsEven when focusing on older workers, the findings show younger older workers elicit stronger benefits from WLB toward well-being, although all age groups find WLB beneficial.Originality/valueThis paper offers novel insights into the question of whether the importance of WLB for well-being differs among older workers.
