Implication

Observational analysis shows improved job satisfaction and well-being in employees, indicating work-family conflict as a key mediator.

Key Points

  • Consistency between work-family boundary preferences and enactment enhances job satisfaction and reduces work-family conflict, improving well-being.
  • Higher levels of both preferences and boundary enactment correlate with better depression–enthusiasm well-being, contrasting with anxiety-comfort well-being.
  • Polynomial regression and response surface analysis were utilized to evaluate data from 420 employees in consulting firms across China.
  • Employers can boost employee well-being by implementing boundary management practices aligned with individual work-family preferences.
