研究主管与员工在育儿责任上的差异以及性别相似性如何交互影响主管的家庭支持,进而影响员工的离职意向和工作满意度。
The present study investigates factors that influence the effects of employees’ child care responsibility on their turnover intentions and job satisfaction. Results of a field study using 183 dyads of employees and their supervisors showed that child care responsibility difference between supervisors and employees and the similarity of their gender interacted to predict supervisory family support and turnover intentions and job satisfaction. Specifically, for cross-gender dyads of supervisors and employees, when supervisors had more child care responsibilities than their employees, they tended to provide more family support, which in turn was related to their employees’ turnover intentions and job satisfaction. No such effects were found for same-gender dyads. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
