The influence mechanism of family-supportive supervisor behaviors on employee work engagement
| Resumo: | Employee engagement is a key factor affecting the development of an organization. In order to improve employee engagement and help employees balance the “work-family” conflict, Family Supportive Supervisory Behavior (FSSB) has attracted the attention of academics and practitioners, but the research on its mechanism is still unclear. This study focuses on the mechanism of FSSB on employee engagement, and conducts diary study on 30 driving team members for 12 consecutive working days. Through baseline regression, intra-individual mediation test, and cross-layer moderation test, FSSB is found to positively affect employee engagement; work-family enrichment mediates the relationship between FSSB and employee engagement, and emotional wellbeing, and beneficiary gratitude play a sequential mediation role in the relationship between FSSB and employee engagement; team relationship balance has a negative cross-layer moderating effect on the relationship between FSSB and work-family enrichment, and power distance has a positive cross-layer moderating effect on the relationship between FSSB and employee engagement. The study reveals that local micro and small companies have problems such as hidden work-family conflicts among employees, and tradeoff dilemmas in the implementation of FSSB by leaders, for which the study proposes four strategies: work-family balance, co-development, shared growth, and multiple evaluations. This study enriches the theory of the influence mechanism of FSSB on employee engagement, and provides practical reference for the management of small and micro private companies in China. |
