Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to explore the relations between peacemaking at work and peacemaking at home. Peacemaking is defined as voluntarily helping behavior in interpersonal conflict, by a person who has no formal authority over the conflicting parties, acts impartial and works with either one or more parties to solve the conflict constructively (Zhang et al., 2018).

Design/methodology/approach

In total, 639 participants engaged in a survey to measure their peacemaking behavior at work and at home. First, the peacemaking scale is validated using factor analysis. To test the hypotheses regression analysis is conducted.

Findings

Results show that peacemaking at work and at home are positively-related. Further, compared to peacemaking at work, people tend to be more often engaged in peacemaking at home; are more focused on settling the issues, provide more emotional support and use more humor, however, are less multi-partial.

Research limitations/implications

Although based on self-reports, the results regarding the positive relation between peacemaking at work and at home may be enlightening in human resource management such as personnel selection.

Originality/value

The study provides the first theory-based instrument to measure peacemaking as informal helping behavior in interpersonal conflict, at work and at home. Five components are measured, namely, peacemaking in general, multi-partiality, settlement-oriented, emotion-oriented and humorous peacemaking behaviors.

在工作和家庭中建立和平

目的

本文的目的是探讨工作中建立和平与家庭中建立和平之间的关系。缔造和平被定义为在人际冲突中自愿帮助他人的行为，该人对冲突各方没有正式权力，不偏不倚并与一个或多个各方合作以建设性地解决冲突（Zhang et al。，2018）。

设计/方法/方法

共有639名参与者参加了一项调查，以衡量他们在工作中和在家中的建立和平行为。首先，使用因素分析验证建立和平的规模。为了检验假设，进行了回归分析。

发现

结果表明，在工作中和在家中建立和平是正相关的。此外，与在工作中建立和平相比，人们往往更多地在家里从事和平建设；更加专注于解决问题，提供更多的情感支持和更多的幽默感，但是它们却没有多方面的作用。

研究局限/意义

尽管基于自我报告，但有关在工作场所和在家中建立和平之间的积极关系的结果可能对人力资源管理（例如人员选拔）具有启发性。

创意/价值

这项研究提供了第一种基于理论的工具，可以将建立和平作为在人际冲突，工作和家庭中的非正式帮助行为来衡量。测量了五个组成部分，即一般性的建立和平，多部分，面向定居点，面向情感和幽默的建立和平行为。
