Domain Satisfaction as a Mediator of the Relationship Between Work-Family Spillover and Subjective Well-Being: A Longitudinal Study

摘要

Purpose Despite greater recognition that public and workplace policies are needed to facilitate work-family integration, scarce evidence exists on whether and how work-family spillover relates to future subjective wellbeing (SWB). Guided by conservation of resources theory and bottom-up theories of SWB (i.e., domain-specific satisfaction serves as a source of overall SWB), we investigated the relationship between work-family spillover and future life satisfaction and the potential mechanisms of the relationship (job and marital satisfaction). The relative contribution of positive and negative work-family spillover to SWB was also examined.
