Relationships between various perceived insecurity during the COVID- 19 pandemic types and employee outcomes: examining work-home resources model
摘要
This study, grounded in the work-home resources model, examines how perceived insecurity due to COVID- 19 (including both job and financial insecurity) influences subsequent resource depletion and vigor through the mediating roles of work-family conflict (WFC) and family-work conflict (FWC). Additionally, this study explores the moderating effects of employee assistance programs and telework. Longitudinal data were gathered from 310 participants employed in the general industry sector in China over three distinct time points. Hypotheses were empirically examined utilizing multilevel path analysis within the Mplus 8 framework. The study results indicate that perceived insecurity due to COVID- 19 exacerbates resource depletion and reduces vigor through the mediating mechanisms of WFC and FWC. Furthermore, employee assistance programs and telework effectively moderate the relationship between perceived insecurity due to COVID- 19 and WFC and FWC, thereby mitigating the subsequent negative impacts on resource depletion and vigor.
