The authors sought to test work‐family conflict (WFC) theory by examining how family relationships may influence WFC, social self‐efficacy, and self‐esteem. They developed and tested a structural model of the relationship between family career influence and self‐esteem through the mediating variables of anticipated emotion‐based WFC, behavior‐based WFC, and the cognitive variable of social self‐efficacy. Data were collected from 301 college students (208 women, 93 men) and analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results indicated that family career influence positively related to college students' self‐esteem through the mediating variables of social self‐efficacy and emotion‐based WFC. Behavior‐based WFC did not function as a mediating variable. When focusing on issues related to students' self‐esteem, career counselors should address ways that family influences anticipated emotion‐based WFC and use interventions designed to increase social self‐efficacy. Future researchers should consider and test additional mediating factors that may help explain how the dimensions of WFC relate to self‐esteem.

家庭对大学生预期的工作家庭冲突，社会自我效能感和自尊心的影响

作者试图通过研究家庭关系如何影响WFC，社会自我效能感和自尊来测试工作家庭冲突（WFC）理论。他们通过预期的基于情感的WFC，基于行为的WFC和社会自我效能感的认知变量的中介变量，开发并测试了家庭职业影响力与自尊之间关系的结构模型。收集了301名大学生（208名女性，93名男性）的数据，并使用结构方程模型进行了分析。结果表明，家庭职业影响力通过社会自我效能感和基于情感的WFC的中介变量与大学生的自尊成正相关。基于行为的WFC不能充当中介变量。在关注与学生自尊有关的问题时，职业咨询师应探讨家庭如何影响预期的基于情感的WFC，并采用旨在提高社会自我效能的干预措施。未来的研究人员应考虑并测试其他中介因素，这些因素可能有助于解释WFC的维度与自尊的关系。
