Abstract: |
| Grounded in conservation of resources theory (Hofboll, 1989), I propose a framework that incorporates work-family conflict into the crossover model (Westman, 2001). Especially, the present research posits that supervisors’ work-family conflict leads to the reduction in emotional, cognitive, and energetic resources, which manifest in expriencing negative affect, exhibiting less perspective taking behavior, and outsourcing workload to their subordinates, respectively. As a consequence, subordinates experience work-family conflict as the supervisors do, and ultimately experience low job satisfaction and have high turnover intention. To test this framework, data were collected from 180 supervisor-subordinate dyads. All the hypotheses were supported by the data. |
