Work-family practices and work-family relationship
Work-family practices are defined as instruments which are used to facilitate reconciliation between work and family. However, research regarding the role of boundary management in shaping such interconnection is still needed. Based on border theory, this study aims to explore boundary control and work-family segmentation enactment as mechanisms to explain the relationship between work-family practices and work-family relationship (conflict and e…

Are Both I-Deals? The Mediating Role of I-Task and I-Incentive in the Relationship between Supervisor Support and Employees’ Silence and Voice
Informed by Social Exchange Theory, this study has developed a mediation model that explains the role of I-deals in the relationship between perceived supervisor support and employees’ discretionary behaviors (i.e., voice and silence). Using a sample of 140 Chile employees, results from our structural equation modeling, indicated that the relationship between supervisor support and employees’ voice (positive) and silence (negative) was mediated b…
Supervisor Support and Work-Family Practices
In recent decades, in response to changes in work dynamics, demographics, and technological advancements, organizations have sought to implement practices that facilitate transitions between work and family—so-called work-family practices. Previous research has focused on identifying antecedents for a more positive work-family relationship, employees’ well-being, and positive organizational outcomes. Nevertheless, the development of this research…

The results sho…
Emotional Intelligence and Teachers’ Work Engagement
A growing number of studies have tested the relationship between personal resources (e.g. emotional intelligence) and indicators of occupational well-being, including work engagement. However, few have examined health-related factors moderating or mediating the pathway from emotional intelligence to work engagement. A better knowledge of this area would contribute substantially to the design of effective intervention strategies. The present study…

The Temporary Agency Worker’s Motivation Profile Analysis
The Self-Determination Theory (SDT) establishes that human motivations can take different forms (e.g., amotivation, extrinsic and intrinsic motivation), yet it is only recently that the theory has been advanced to explain how these different forms combine to influence temporary agency workers' (TAWs) affective commitment and their perception over the human resources practices (HRP) applied. We tested this theory with data from seven temporary age…
