Value attainment: An explanation for the negative effects of work-family conflict on job and life satisfaction.
研究认为工作家庭冲突会降低个人的价值实现，进而降低工作和生活满意度。对270名酒店经理的调查显示，价值实现部分或完全中介了工作家庭冲突与满意度之间的负向关系。
Perceptions of work interfering with family life and family issues interfering with work are examined as 2 distinct constructs representing work-family conflict. Experienced work-family conflict is argued to reduce one's value attainment which, in turn, lowers both job and life satisfaction. This study examines value attainment as a mediating variable in the work-family conflict and satisfaction relationship. Responses from 270 hotel managers indicate that value attainment either partially or fully mediates the relationship between work interference with family and family interference with work and both job and life satisfaction. Value attainment is argued to be a meaningful explanatory variable for the negative relationship between work-family conflict and job-life satisfaction.
