The Role of Social Support in the Stressor-Strain Relationship: An Examination of Work-Family Conflict
研究了社会支持在工作家庭冲突中的作用，发现社会支持最好被视为压力源的前因，通过减少压力感知间接影响工作家庭冲突。
This study examines the role of social support in work-family conflict. Although previous research has examined social support as a promising coping mechanism, questions as to how social support affects work-family conflict remain unanswered. Social support is examined as an antecedent, an intervening, a moderating, and an independent variable in the stressors to work-family conflict relationship. Results suggest that social support may be best viewed as an antecedent to perceived stressors. From this, a more full model of work-family conflict is developed and tested. Discussion centers around how social support reduces the likelihood that situations will be perceived as stressful, thus, indirectly affecting work-family conflict through perceived stressors.
