Resources related to a good work-life balance may play an important role for the mental health of workers with involuntary working hours. This study investigates whether involuntary part-time (i.e., working part-time, but preferring full-time work) and involuntary full-time work (i.e., working full-time, but preferring part-time work) are associated with a deterioration of mental health and whether family- and work-related resources buffer this association. Data were obtained from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) with baseline information on involuntary working hours and resources. This information was linked to changes in mental health two years later. We found impaired mental health for involuntary full-time male workers and increased mental health for regular part-time female workers. The mental health of involuntary full-time male workers is more vulnerable, compared to regular full-time workers, when having high non-standard work hours and when being a partner (with or without children). Involuntary part-time work is detrimental to men’s mental health when doing a high amount of household work. This study is one of the first to emphasize the mental health consequences of involuntary full-time work. Avoiding role and time conflicts between family and work roles are important for the mental health of men too.

非全日制和非全日制非自愿工作：员工的心理健康以及与家庭和工作相关的资源的作用

与良好的工作与生活平衡相关的资源可能对非自愿工作时间的工人的心理健康起重要作用。这项研究调查了非自愿的兼职（即，兼职，但更喜欢全职工作）和非自愿的全职工作（即，全职，但更喜欢兼职工作）是否与病情恶化相关联心理健康以及与家庭和工作相关的资源是否可以缓冲这种联系。数据来自德国社会经济专家组（GSOEP），其中包含有关非自愿工作时间和资源的基准信息。两年后，这些信息与心理健康的变化有关。我们发现非自愿的全职男性工作者的心理健康受损，而定期非全日制女性工作者的心理健康有所提高。与非正规全职工作人员相比，非正规全职工作人员的心理健康状况更加脆弱，因为他们的非标准工作时间较长，并且是伴侣（有子女或无子女）。从事大量家务劳动时，非自愿非全日制工作不利于男性的心理健康。这项研究是第一个强调非自愿全职工作对心理健康后果的研究。避免家庭和工作角色之间的角色冲突和时间冲突对于男性的心理健康也很重要。这项研究是第一个强调非自愿全职工作对心理健康后果的研究。避免家庭和工作角色之间的角色冲突和时间冲突对于男性的心理健康也很重要。这项研究是第一个强调非自愿全职工作对心理健康后果的研究。避免家庭和工作角色之间的角色冲突和时间冲突对于男性的心理健康也很重要。
