Family Power And Employees' Daily Work Vigor And Proactive Behavior

Family power refers to the ability of an individual to exert expected influences on other family members in the family relationship.Based on conservation of resource theory and work-family enrichment theory,this study examined the positive influence of family power on employees' performance(daily work vigor and proactive behavior)and its underlining mechanism.This paper used an experience-sampling method to conduct a diary study using 114 married employees across 10 consecutive working days.The multi-level regression analysis showed that employees' family power positively relates to work-family interpersonal capitalization.As anticipated,work-family interpersonal capitalization mediates the effect of employee family power and work performance(daily work vigor and proactive behavior).Furthermore,employees' family motivation cross-level moderates the positive relationship between family power and work vigor or proactive behavior via work-family interpersonal capitalization,such that when employees'family motivation is high,the indirect effect of work-family interpersonal capitalization is strong.This study on the relationship between employees' family power and daily work vigor and proactive behavior provides theoretical insights to identify positivity-oriented human resource strengths and psychological capacities that can promote work performance in dynamic organizational contexts.Furthermore,this study also expands the research of work-family facilitation and enriches theoretical guidance for dual-earner family employees to manage their work and family responsibilities.
