| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This study of 175 military employees working in three units of the Portuguese Marine Corps tested the mediated effect of work–family conflict and enrichment on the relationship between job characteristics and well-being at work (i.e., burnout; engagement). Using job demands, job autonomy, and supervisor support as job characteristics, and consistent with the assumptions of acclaimed work well-being models (i.e., job demands–control and support, job demands–resources model, and conservation of resources theory), the structural equation modeling analysis revealed that job characteristics are related to both work–family conflict and enrichment, which, in turn, explain militaries’ burnout and engagement. Work–family enrichment mediated the relationship between job characteristics (i.e., autonomy and supervisor support) and engagement, and work–family conflict not only mediated the relationship between job characteristics (i.e., demands and supervisor support) and burnout but also acted as a mediator between these variables and engagement. |
