“…The negative work‐nonwork interface terminologies mainly originate from role theory (Kahn et al, ), scarcity, spillover, compensatory, and segmentation hypotheses (Goode, ; Kanter, ; Wilensky, ). The scarcity hypothesis proposed by Goode () suggests that individuals possess a finite amount of time, energy and attention, and that greedy organisations demand the majority of these resources.…”

“…Therefore, when an individual pursues more roles, the probability of facing situations with conflicting demands increases, and the chance of suffering from negative outcomes such as stress also increases. Wilensky’s () spillover hypothesis proposed the idea that negative attitudes and behaviours experienced in one domain result in the same negative attitudes and behaviours in the other domain. The compensatory hypothesis by Wilensky () suggested that workers develop a routine of leisure that compensates for their unsatisfactory work conditions.…”

“…Work‐nonwork conceptualisations of compensation, segmentation, and spillover that equated nonwork with leisure belong to the narrow category as well. These terms originated from sociological theories and studies of how people spent their money in their leisure time (Dubin, ; Wilensky, ). Based on Wilensky’s () work, Kabanoff () defined two work‐leisure compensatory processes (i.e., supplemental and reactive) through which most workers would compensate for deficiencies in their need fulfilment with their leisure activity choices.…”

Half a Century of Work–Nonwork Interface Research: A Review and Taxonomy of Terminologies

The extensive interest in the work-nonwork interface over the years has allowed scholars from multiple disciplines to contribute to this literature and to shed light on how professional and personal lives are related. In this paper, we have identified 48 terminologies that describe the interface or relationship between work and nonwork, and have organised them into mature, intermediate, and immature categories according to their stage of development and theoretical grounding. We also provide a taxonomy that places work-nonwork interface terminologies into a matrix of six cells based on two dimensions:(1) type of nonwork being narrow or broad; and (2) nature of the mutual impact of work and nonwork domains on one another, characterising the impact as negative, positive, or balanced. The type of nonwork dimension was informed by Frone's (2003) classification of employees' lives into multiple subdomains; the mutual impact dimension was informed by frameworks that organised the literature in part by negative, positive, and balanced work-nonwork interface constructs (e.g., Allen, 2012; Greenhaus & Allen, 2011). Theoretical contributions of the proposed taxonomy are discussed along with suggestions on important avenues for future research.

Perceived organizational support and well‐being of tour guides: The mediating effects of quality of work life

The reciprocity norm theory suggests that individuals develop a sense of obligation and indebtedness to reciprocate the favorable treatment they receive. Rooted in the notion of reciprocity norm, organizational support is regarded as essential for organizations to maintain long-term relationships with their employees. Despite an established academic discussion on organizational support and its outcomes in behavioral and applied psychology research, a comprehensive understanding of its role in enhancing employees' well-being is surprisingly limited in the field of tourism.Drawing on the organizational support theory and theoretical conceptualizations on well-being, the present study proposes a conceptual model linking perceived organizational support (POS) with quality of work life, life satisfaction, and burnout. Using data from 301 tour guides, the results show that POS enhances tour guides' quality of work life and reduces their levels of burnout. The findings also show that while POS does not have a direct effect on life satisfaction, this effect emerges mediated by the quality of work life. As predicted, quality of work life was found as a key antecedent of life satisfaction. The current study highlights the role of POS in enhancing the well-being of tour guides and shows how well-being at the workplace is associated with well-being in life.

The Role of Personality Profiles in the Longitudinal Relationship between Work–Related Well–Being and Life Satisfaction among Working Adults in Switzerland

et al. 2020

Drawing on the concept of spillover between work and life domains and using a person-centred approach, the present study examined the role of Big Five personality trait profiles in moderating the relationship between workrelated well-being and life satisfaction over a 1-year period in a sample of working adults in Switzerland (N = 1204). Latent profile analysis was first carried out to derive and compare alternative latent personality profile models. Subsequently, a two-wave cross-lagged structural equation model using three personality profiles (resilient, average, and oversensitive) as moderators was tested. Work stress and job satisfaction were used as negative and positive indicators of work-related well-being. The results showed that in the overall sample, only Time 1 life satisfaction predicted Time 2 job satisfaction. We found a moderating role for the personality profiles, where the effect of Time 1 work stress on Time 2 life satisfaction became salient in the oversensitive profile, while a significant effect of Time 1 life satisfaction on Time 2 work stress was found in the resilient profile. The current study showed that different combinations of personality traits may determine the way in which work-related well-being and general well-being relate to each other.
