Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to investigate the crossover effects of one partner's work-family conflict (WFC) on the other partner's family satisfaction, physical well-being, and mental well-being. The study tests the moderating effect of the opposite partner's family identity salience within the crossover process in a Chinese context.Design/methodology/approach– A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect matched data from 212 Chinese dual-earner couples. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was employed to test the research hypotheses.Findings– The results showed that there were significantly negative crossover effects of husbands' WFC on their wives' family satisfaction, physical well-being, and mental well-being, and vice versa. The authors found that the wives' family identity salience mitigated the crossover effects of the husbands' WFC, but the husbands' family identity did not moderate the crossover effect of the wives' WFC.Originality/value– This is the first study to investigate the crossover effects of WFC among dual-earner couples in China. Further, the study integrated family identity salience into the WFC crossover process between couples from the receiver's view and provided evidence that partners differed in the ways they dealt with each other's stress. This research advances scholarly discussions of the psychological crossover process and fills a key gap of considering complex role variables as moderators within this crossover process.

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mediating effects of work-home interference (WHI) on the relationships between work demand, work attitudes, and job performance, with a focus on the moderating effect of Chinese work values (CWV).Design/methodology/approach– A self-administered survey method was used. The sample comprised 1,032 employees from Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The moderated mediation framework was used to test the proposed model.Findings– The results showed that WHI mediated the relationships among work demand, job satisfaction, and affective organizational commitment (AOC), but did not mediate the relationship between work demand and job performance. CWV moderated the mediated relationships and exacerbated the mediation effects of WHI on the relationships between work demand and job satisfaction and AOC.Research limitations/implications– The use of a cross-sectional design prevented the drawing of causal inference. With the exception of job performance, the self-reported measures are all subject to the problem of common method bias.Practical implications– Organizations in Greater China could implement stress management programs to reduce the negative effects of work demands. HR practitioners and managers should understand what values their employees hold to provide the proper interventions for them.Originality/value– By integrating both the mediator (WHI) and a moderator (CWV), this study investigated how CWV, an individual-level cultural value, affects the influences of WHI. The results highlight the importance of incorporating culturally specific value constructs when examining the underlying mechanisms of WHI.
