Abstract: |
| Derived from conservation of resource theory, we take employees’ gratitude as the key personal resource that could decrease employees’ work-family conflict. The prevented resource loss from work-family conflict helps employees to invest more in organizational citizenship behavior and possess less turnover intention. Moreover, work-family segmentation, as another relevant personal resource, weakens the negative relationship between gratitude and work-family conflict. And family-supportive organization, as the valuable contextual resource, strengthens the negative relationship between gratitude and work-family conflict. Time-lagged data collected from 164 employees and their respective leaders confirmed our hypotheses in the moderated mediation framework. Theoretical, practical implications and future research directions are also provided. |
