| dc.description.abstract | The reconciliation of professional and family life has been growing in importance in recent years, and although progress has been made, there is still much to be done. It is crucial to understand the extent to which the individual's attachment to the organization contributes to identifying the mechanisms related to work-life balance (WLB) and workplace well-being. This study aims to analyze the mediating role of job embeddedness in the relationship between WLB and well-being in the workplace. A quantitative methodology based on a hypothetical-deductive perspective was used. Data was collected using the Flourishing Scale, the Job Embeddedness Questionnaire, and the Work-Life Balance Questionnaire. The sample included 243 participants employed in the public and private sectors. The results show that well-being in the workplace is positively influenced by WLB and job embeddedness. It was also found that with the inclusion of the mediating variable in the model, the influence of WLB tends to decrease. The indirect effect of job embeddedness on the relationship between WLB and well-being in the workplace is significant, indicating the existence of partial mediation. | pt_PT |
| dc.description.abstract | A conciliação da vida profissional e familiar tem vindo a ganhar importância nos últimos anos e, embora tenham sido feitos progressos, ainda há muito a ser feito. É crucial compreender até que ponto o vínculo do indivíduo à organização contribui para identificar os mecanismos relacionados com o equilíbrio entre vida pessoal e profissional (WLB) e o bem-estar no local de trabalho. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar o papel mediador do job embeddedness na relação entre o WLB e o bem-estar no local de trabalho. Foi utlizada uma metodologia quantitativa baseada numa perspetiva hipotético-dedutiva. Os dados foram recolhidos através da utilização da Flourishing Scale, do Job Embeddedness Questionnaire e do Work-Life Balance Questionnaire. A amostra é composta por 243 trabalhadores dos setores público e privado. Os resultados demonstram que o bem-estar no local de trabalho é positivamente influenciado pelo WLB e pelo job embeddedness. Também se verificou que com a inclusão da variável mediadora no modelo, a influência do WLB tende a diminuir. O efeito indireto do job embeddedness na relação entre o WLB e o bem-estar no local de trabalho é significativo, o que indica a existência de uma mediação parcial. | pt_PT |
