Family-supportive supervisor behaviour (FSSB) : the role of work-family enrichment

The study acknowledged the profound impact that work–family support, particularly through family-supportive supervisor behaviour (FSSB) and work–family enrichment (WFE), could have on employees’ subjective career success (SCS) and turnover intention. The focus was on identifying how FSSB could support employees in balancing their work and family roles, thus enhancing their career outcomes and reducing turnover intent.
Research approach, design, and method: cross-sectional survey design to collect data from a sample (N = 354) of South African employees recruited from various sectors through convenience and snowball sampling were utilised. Data was collected using the online tool Qualtrics, and statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS version 29 and Mplus version 8.6. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to validate the instruments, while correlation and mediation analyses were utilised to examine the relationships between the study variables, i.e., FSSB, WFE,SCS, and turnover intention.

本研究肯定了工作-家庭支持，尤其是通过家庭支持型主管行为（FSSB）和工作-家庭增值（WFE），对员工主观职业成功（SCS）及离职意愿所产生的深远影响。研究重点在于探究FSSB如何帮助员工平衡其工作与家庭角色，从而提升其职业成果并降低离职意愿。研究方法采用横断面调查设计，从便利抽样和滚雪球抽样中收集了来自南非各行业的354名员工的样本数据。数据收集通过在线工具Qualtrics完成，并使用SPSS 29版和Mplus 8.6版进行统计分析。通过验证性因素分析验证了测量工具，同时运用相关和中介分析来考察研究变量间的关系，即FSSB、WFE、SCS与离职意愿之间的关系。
