WLB 管理職の行動が子育て期女性のポジティブ・スピルオーバーに与える影響に関する研究―ワーク・エンゲイジメントの媒介効果に着目して―

抄録

Although interest in work–life balance （WLB） among employees is growing in Japan, there is little research on creating a work environment that allows employees to develop their careers while achieving WLB and increasing organizational productivity. This study aims to reveal the relationship between work–family positive spillover and behaviors of WLB managers overseeing subordinates and working effectively with a high awareness of WLB. This study also focused on the mediating effect of work engagement. We conducted a web-based survey of 802 full-time non-managerial working mothers raising preschool children through a survey company. The results supported those behaviors of WLB managers affect work–family positive spillover and mediate work engagement. The results also suggested that the behaviors of WLB managers enhanced working mothers' work engagement and facilitated their work–family positive spillover.
