Work-to-Family enrichment and Job Involvement: The Mediating Role of Organizational Identification

The last two decades have seen a dramatic increase in research focusing on the work-family interface. However, the study of work-family enrichment and its work-related consequences have been surprisingly neglected. The present study investigates the impact of work-to-family enrichment (WFE) as perceived by employees on their job involvement by focusing on the mediating role of organizational identification (OD). The results from a field survey of 207 employees in China provide full support for our hypotheses, indicating that perceived WFE is positively related to both OlD and job involvement; this relationship is also mediated by organizational identification. The theoretical and managerial implications of these findings are discussed.
