<p>Drawing on the spillover-crossover model, we investigate how workplace telepressure after hours (WTA) influences employees’ behaviors at home and crosses over to affect their spouses’ well-being, including relationship satisfaction and family emotional exhaustion. We suggest that work-related rumination serves as a key mechanism, and that core self-evaluations (CSE) moderate these effects. Using a three-wave, multisource design with 227 dual-earner couples, we found that WTA was indirectly and negatively linked to family undermining through problem-solving pondering, which in turn improved spouses’ relationship satisfaction and decreased their family emotional exhaustion. This positive spillover-crossover effect was only present among employees with high CSE. Conversely, WTA was indirectly and positively associated with family undermining through affective rumination, which then lowered spouses’ relationship satisfaction and increased their family emotional exhaustion.

摘要

Drawing on the spillover-crossover model, we investigate how workplace telepressure after hours (WTA) influences employees’ behaviors at home and crosses over to affect their spouses’ well-being, including relationship satisfaction and family emotional exhaustion. We suggest that work-related rumination serves as a key mechanism, and that core self-evaluations (CSE) moderate these effects. Using a three-wave, multisource design with 227 dual-earner couples, we found that WTA was indirectly and negatively linked to family undermining through problem-solving pondering, which in turn improved spouses’ relationship satisfaction and decreased their family emotional exhaustion. This positive spillover-crossover effect was only present among employees with high CSE. Conversely, WTA was indirectly and positively associated with family undermining through affective rumination, which then lowered spouses’ relationship satisfaction and increased their family emotional exhaustion. This negative spillover-crossover effect was not significant when employees had high CSE. Overall, this study reveals new insights into how telepressure affects both employees and their spouses, emphasizing the crucial role of personal resources in managing spillover and crossover effects of telepressure.
