Employees manage work and nonwork boundaries, or socially constructed lines of demarcation, in different ways due to their preferences and ability to do so. When an individual’s integration-segmentation boundary enactment matches their boundary preference, they possess greater boundary fit. We examined the impact of work and nonwork boundary fit on subjective well-being, mediated by work and nonwork satisfaction. Results from a three-wave study confirmed positive direct effects for work/nonwork boundary fit on role satisfaction and role satisfaction on subjective well-being. We also found significant mediation effects for role satisfaction between work/nonwork boundary fit and subjective well-being. Overall, work boundary fit had stronger direct and indirect effects than nonwork boundary fit. This research helps clarify theoretical distinctions among work-nonwork fit constructs and extends the boundary fit literature through an atomistic fit perspective. Future research could consider examining boundary fit through cross-lagged panel designs and response surface modelling, as well as extending our model to examine nuanced aspects of boundary fit (e.g., physical, temporal, cognitive) and its relationship with additional outcomes (e.g., performance, burnout) and contextual factors (e.g., part-time vs. full-time employment, frontline vs. office-based employment).

工作和非工作边界契合对角色满意度和主观幸福感的影响

由于员工的偏好和能力，员工以不同的方式管理工作和非工作边界，或社会构建的分界线。当一个人的整合-分割边界制定与他们的边界偏好相匹配时，他们拥有更大的边界拟合。我们检查了工作和非工作边界拟合对主观幸福感的影响，由工作和非工作满意度介导。三波研究的结果证实了工作/非工作边界契合对角色满意度和角色满意度对主观幸福感的积极直接影响。我们还发现工作/非工作边界契合和主观幸福感之间的角色满意度有显着的中介效应。总体而言，工作边界拟合比非工作边界拟合具有更强的直接和间接影响。这项研究有助于阐明工作-非工作契合结构之间的理论区别，并通过原子契合视角扩展边界契合文献。未来的研究可以考虑通过交叉滞后面板设计和响应面建模来检查边界拟合，以及扩展我们的模型以检查边界拟合的细微方面（例如，物理、时间、认知）及其与其他结果（例如，性能）的关系，倦怠）和背景因素（例如，兼职与全职就业，一线与办公室就业）。
