Abstract

MARTINEZ-CORTS, Inés; MANZANARES, Sandra  and  MEDINA, Francisco J. Two in distress make sorrow less: a work-life conflict moderated mediation model. Rev. psicol. trab. organ. [online]. 2021, vol.37, n.1, pp.28-34.  Epub Mar 29, 2021. ISSN 2174-0534.  https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/jwop2021a3.

Drawing on the Job Demand-Resource model this paper examines the influence of the social comparison orientation personality trait. It is hypothesized that high social comparison orientation will moderate the negative effect of job demands in the health impairment process on work engagement, mediated by a work-nonwork conflict. A total of 510 nurses from different healthcare centres participated in this study. PROCESS macro was used to test simple and moderated mediation. Results demonstrate that the negative indirect effect of job demands on work engagement via work-non work conflict appears only with low levels of social comparison orientation. Theoretical insights from social comparison literature and the work-nonwork interface into JD-R theory are integrated. The strengths of social comparison orientation employees are highlighted to reduce the depletion of resources needed to cope with non-work demands and promote work engagement.

Keywords : Social comparison orientation; Work engagement; Nurses; Work-nonwork conflict; Job-demands resources model.
