Influence Mechanism Of Work-family Enrichment On Happiness Among Universities’ Female Staff

Work and family, as significant parts of individual life, are the most important areas which people care. Those two areas have an huge impact on the happiness of the individual, especially on the happiness of women at new era and on the development of enterprises. Therefore, how to deal with the relationship between work and family and enhance the women’s well-being and job performance, has become a vital problem that female employees and managers need to face. In recent years, with a rise of positive psychology and positive organizational behavior, the focus has change gradually from work-family conflict issues to work-family enrichment. Researchers believe that there is a positive synergistic effect between work and family rather than the irreconcilable contradictions. Based on this theory, this study selects the female staff in Jinan University as the research object and intends to investigate their work family enrichment by using the self-designed work family enrichment scale. This study also attempts to explore the influence mechanism of work family enrichment to happiness: the mediating effect of resources and to further explore the individual differences of the impact of core self-evaluation on the influences of resources to happiness. The results of the study show that work-family enrichment will not only directly affect the sense of happiness, but also through indirect effects on family resources. At the same time, the core self-evaluation plays a regulating effect on the influence of family resource to happiness. However, family-work enrichment don’t have significant effect on happiness, so the mediating role of job resources do not exist, and the core self-evaluation’s regulating effect do not exist either.
