ABSTRACT
Family and work are two major life domains that can have conflicting or complementary effects on each other. To date, majority of the research on the intersection between work and family domains has taken a static perspective, focusing primarily on the between-person effects of work-to-family or family-to-work spillover. Moreover, research tends to devote more attention on the negative interference, rather than the positive enrichment, between work and family domains. This research takes a within-person perspective to investigate the positive family-to-work spillover. Specifically, using a daily diary design, we examined the effects of positive family events during the prior night on supervisors’ effective leader behaviors the next day in two studies. We also explored supervisors’ marital and parental status as moderators of these within-person relationships, and tested their family identity as the mechanism through which these personal characteristics may have their moderation effects. Results demonstrated the importance of positive family-to-work enrichment from a within-person perspective.
