The role of family support in work-family balance and subjective well-being of SME owners
基于资源保存理论，研究了情感支持和工具性支持两种家庭支持对中小企业主工作家庭平衡和主观幸福感的影响，发现情感支持有正面作用，而工具性支持通过工作家庭平衡反而有负面作用。
textabstractDrawing on the conservation of resources (COR) theory, we examine the role of two types of family support—emotional and instrumental support—in work-family balance and subjective well-being of small and medium enterprise (SME) owners. Using a sample of French SME owners, our results show that work-family balance mediates the relationship between family support and subjective well-being of SME owners. Surprisingly, while emotional support has a positive association, instrumental support has a negative association with the subjective well-being of SME owners via work-family balance. We provide a theoretical explanation by integrating COR theory with the threat to self-esteem model.
