工作家庭促进关注的是工作-家庭关系中的积极方面,指的是个体由于在某一社会系统(工作或者家庭)中的投入,而对另一系统(如家庭或者工作)的发展产生贡献的程度。文章首先探讨了工作家庭促进的理论源流、概念界定以及三个主要的研究方向;接下来介绍了基于系统论思想的促进发生机制模型;最后指出了今后两个首要的研究方向,即工作家庭促进测量工具的开发及其与相关变量的关系研究。
Work-family facilitation which pays close attention to the synergies between the domains of work and family, is the extent to which an individual's engagement in one social system, such as work or family, contributes to growth in another social system. In this paper, the origin and development of work-family facilitation was introduced. The essay also clarified the construction definition of work-family facilitation. There were three main perspectives in the work-family facilitation domain. Next, the process through which facilitation occurs was explained by providing a theory model. At last, the author pointed out two chief prospects for the future research, including developing the measurement scales, and also exploring the relationship between work-family facilitation and other variables.
