| Along with the enterprise competition intensifying,the aging of the population rise and dual-earner families become a common phenomenon,individual work and life has become increasingly blurred border,work family conflict has become a common problem faced by modern employees,it is not just about individual career development and health of body and mind,will also larger impact on the performance of the organization and strategy.In this context,work-family conflict has gradually attracted the attention of scholars and become an increasingly important research topic.In recent years,how to alleviate work-family conflict has become a hot issue in the academic world.As the main person in charge of the employee’s work field,leadership is considered to be an important antecedent.At present,some studies have proved that supervisorsubordinate guanxi plays a positive role in reducing employees’ perception of work-family conflict,but the mechanism has not been discussed.Guided by work-family boundary theory and resource conservation theory,this study constructed a theoretical model of the influence of supervisor-subordinate guanxi on work-family conflict,and analyzed the mediating effect of emotional exhaustion and the moderating effect of family-supportive supervisor behaviors.Based on the analysis of 257 field survey data,the following conclusions are drawn:(1)Supervisor-subordinate guanxi has a negative impact on work-family conflict;(2)Emotional exhaustion plays a part of the mediating effect in the above relationship;(3)Family supportive supervisor behaviors negatively regulates the relationship between emotional exhaustion and work-family conflict;(4)Family supportive supervisor behaviors regulates the intermediary path of the supervisor-subordinate guanxi—emotional exhaustion—work-family conflict.This paper theoretically supplements the antecedents of work-family conflict,discusses the mediating mechanism and boundary conditions of supervisor-subordinate guanxi on workfamily conflict,and expands the relevant theoretical research.On the practical level,this paper provides guidance for enterprises on how to alleviate employees’ perception of work-family conflict,and guides managers not only to pay attention to the problem of employees’ emotional exhaustion,but also to actively improve their own family support behaviors. |
