Abstract

This study expands scholarly understanding of the positive impact of supervisors' perceptions of support on employee work-family and well-being experiences. Specifically, this study examines the role of resource-based positive crossover from supervisors' perceptions of co-worker support behavior to their employees. The current research draws on Systems Theory to understand the context, Conservation of Resources Theory to understand the type of resource purported to position individual resource gains, and crossover-spillover theory to understand the process through which resources crossover from supervisor to employee. Based on prior theory, this dissertation investigates a positive crossover effect of supervisors' perceptions of co-worker support at work on employee work-to-family enrichment (WFE) and family-to-work enrichment (FWE) to employee personal well-being (life satisfaction, anger, distress), workplace well-being (job satisfaction, affective commitment, burnout), and romantic relationship well-being (perceived partner responsiveness). The sample consists of 393 full-time employees and their 178 matched supervisors of the National Guard. Findings suggest a positive crossover of supervisor perceptions of co-worker support to employee WFE but not FWE. Moreover, findings suggest an indirect effect of supervisor co-worker support at Time 1 on employee workplace well-being at Time 3 (both job satisfaction and organizational affective commitment) through WFE at Time 2. This longitudinal mediation study offers several theoretical and practical implications for advancing research and practice.
