How do people with different attachment styles balance work and family? A personality perspective on work-family linkage.
研究通过调查481名美国大学员工，发现不同依恋风格（如专注型、安全型）的人在工作和家庭之间的溢出效应和分割策略上存在差异，对理解工作-家庭平衡有参考价值。
This study explored whether different models of work-family relationship were possible for individuals with different attachment styles. A mail survey was conducted using employees (N = 481) at a midwestern university in the United States. Results suggested that (a) individuals with a preoccupied attachment pattern were more likely to experience negative spillover from the family/home to the work domain than those with a secure or dismissing style, (b) securely attached individuals experienced positive spillover in both work and family domains more than those in the other groups. and (c) preoccupied individuals were much less likely to use a segmentation strategy than the other 3 attachment groups. However, when the conventional job satisfaction-life satisfaction relationship was examined. the data provided unique support for the spillover model, Implications of the findings for both attachment and work-family relationship literatures are discussed.
