Title: Supervisors’ Family-to-Work Enrichment and Conflict
Abstract: This paper utilizes a Conservation of Resources lens to examine the crossover of supervisor family experiences to their subordinates in the workplace. Supervisor family-to-work enrichment and conflict are proposed to influence subordinate perceptions of supervisor support for work-family. This perceived support, in turn, is hypothesized to positively affect subordinate work engagement and job satisfaction and negatively affect subordinate turnover intentions. Results of multilevel analysis of a study of 496 employees nested within 83 supervisors support the proposed relationships. Supervisor family-to- work conflict and supervisor family-to-work enrichment have negative and positive effects (respectively) on subordinates’ perceptions of support for work-family. Further, we find an overall indirect effect of supervisor family-to-work enrichment and family-to-work conflict on subordinate work engagement, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions through the mediator of perceived work-family support. Limitations and future research directions are discussed.
