Purpose

Using conservation of resources (COR) theory the study investigates the interrelationships between optimism, bidirectional work-family conflict, enrichment, and psychological health.

Design/methodology/approach

The data were gathered from 356 Indian police officers using a survey questionnaire and purposive sampling technique.

Findings

The results inform that optimism mitigates family to work conflict (FWC) and fosters work to family enrichment (WFE), family to work enrichment (FEW), and psychological health in the police. The results further suggest optimism influences psychological health via WFE (partial mediation). However, FWC and FEW do not influence mental health.

Research limitations/implications

The study was conducted in a specific culture and context (Rajasthan police), so results cannot be generalized. The study discusses the practical implications for police practitioners.

Originality/value

The study adds to work-family literature by considering personal differences that have received less space in work-family models. To the best of authors' knowledge, none of the previous studies have considered optimism, the work-family interface and psychological health in the police.

乐观对印度警察工作-家庭界面和心理健康的影响

目的

该研究使用资源保护 (COR) 理论调查乐观、双向工作家庭冲突、充实和心理健康之间的相互关系。

设计/方法/方法

这些数据是使用调查问卷和有目的的抽样技术从 356 名印度警察那里收集的。

发现

结果表明，乐观可以减轻家庭与工作的冲突 (FWC)，并促进工作对家庭的充实 (WFE)、家庭对工作的充实 (FEW) 和警察的心理健康。结果进一步表明乐观情绪通过 WFE（部分调解）影响心理健康。但是，FWC 和 FEW 不会影响心理健康。

研究限制/影响

该研究是在特定文化和背景下进行的（拉贾斯坦邦警方），因此结果不能一概而论。该研究讨论了对警察从业人员的实际影响。

原创性/价值

该研究通过考虑在工作家庭模型中获得较少空间的个人差异，增加了工作家庭文献。据作者所知，之前的研究都没有考虑过乐观、工作与家庭的关系以及警察的心理健康。
