| Popis: | 管理學院MBA 100 Based on work-family enrichment model, resources might facilitate enrichment to occur. With workforce structure changing, organizations tend to provide resources or supports to help employees meet their family demands and keep work-family balance. In this study, I aim to explore the direct effect between work resources and work-to-family enrichment. In addition, I also figure out which characteristics may affect individual’s behavior about utilizing resources to family by examining how gender and role identity influence the relationship between work resources and work-to-family enrichment. My finding proposes enabling and psychological resources such as learning opportunities, respect and job autonomy are strongly associated with work-to-family enrichment. Consistent with my prediction about gender, the more money women contributed to their family, the higher work-family enrichment occurred. As for effect of role identity, it was proved that family-role identity individuals incline to experience greater work-to-family enrichment if their superiors and coworkers respect them more. However, for individuals who have work-role identity, it would be assist them to perform better in their family if they could control how, where and when to finish their work. In sum, this study suggests when organizations design family-friendly policies, it is better they consider about employees’ characteristics. |
