Drawing on the spillover-crossover model, we examine both the enriching and conflicting effects of interpersonal experiences at work on the family domain using experience sampling methodology with 567 daily observations from 70 couples. As a positive spillover-crossover process, we find that employees' help provision at work indirectly and positively influences couples' relationship satisfaction, employees' life satisfaction, and spouses' life satisfaction via support provision to the spouse at home. As a negative spillover-crossover process, employees' experiences of interpersonal conflict at work indirectly and negatively influence couples' relationship satisfaction and employees' life satisfaction via undermining behaviors toward the spouse at home. We further theorize and find that the negative spillover-crossover process is less pronounced when spouses are more responsive to employees' disclosures of negative work experiences. Overall, this study provides new insights regarding behavioral pathways underlying interpersonal models of the work-family interface, with important practical implications for working couples and the organizations employing them.

模糊的界限：工作中人际经历对家庭行为和幸福感的溢出和交叉影响


借鉴溢出-交叉模型，我们使用经验抽样方法，对 70 对夫妇的 567 次日常观察，研究了工作中人际经历对家庭领域的丰富和冲突影响。作为一个积极的溢出交叉过程，我们发现，员工在工作中提供的帮助间接地、积极地影响了夫妻关系满意度、员工的生活满意度，以及通过在家庭中为配偶提供支持而影响配偶的生活满意度。作为一个负面的溢出-交叉过程，员工在工作中的人际冲突经历通过破坏家庭中对配偶的行为，间接地对夫妻关系满意度和员工的生活满意度产生负面影响。我们进一步进行理论分析并发现，当配偶对员工披露负面工作经历更加敏感时，负面溢出交叉过程就不那么明显。总体而言，这项研究提供了关于工作与家庭界面人际模型的行为途径的新见解，对工作夫妇和雇用他们的组织具有重要的实际意义。
