Increasingly blurred boundaries allow work to breach home borders, disrupting personal tasks and goals which feel like violations to employees and thereby may trigger affective strain responses. Yet, the potential adverse effects of boundary violations at home on partner affective strain remains unexplored. Based on affective events and crossover theories, we considered the occurrence of violations at home as work-related stressors originating at home and thereafter evoking emotional strain in partners through employees' own affective strain response. Based on the differential reactivity model, we expected employee affective strain responses to boundary violations at home and subsequent emotional transmission to partners would be exacerbated during a period (i.e., one week) of high emotional strain when employees and partners are hyper-responsive to their home environments. Event data were collected for seven days from 69 employees and partners for 483 data points. Since the occurrence of homebound violations and associated effects on employees and partners likely fluctuates daily, a multilevel two-stage moderated-mediation model was tested. Results showed indirect effects of violations on partner affective strain through employee affective strain, with a backdrop of high emotional strain for the week moderating the affective event and crossover processes. Implications for scholars and organizations are discussed.

多么美好的一周！家庭和伴侣晚上影响日常边界违规的适度调解交叉模型

越来越模糊的界限让工作打破了家庭界限，扰乱了个人任务和目标，这对员工来说是一种侵犯，从而可能引发情感紧张反应。然而，在家中违反边界对伴侣情感压力的潜在不利影响仍未得到探索。基于情感事件和交叉理论，我们将在家中发生的违规行为视为源自家庭的与工作相关的压力源，然后通过员工自身的情感压力反应引起合作伙伴的情绪压力。基于差异反应模型，我们预计员工对在家中违反边界的情感应变反应以及随后向合作伙伴的情绪传递会在一段时间内加剧（即，一周）当员工和合作伙伴对他们的家庭环境反应过度时情绪紧张。从 483 个数据点的 69 名员工和合作伙伴处收集了为期 7 天的事件数据。由于在家中违规的发生以及对员工和合作伙伴的相关影响可能每天都在波动，因此测试了多级两阶段调节调解模型。结果显示，违规行为通过员工情感压力对伴侣情感压力产生间接影响，一周内的高情绪压力缓和了情感事件和交叉过程。讨论了对学者和组织的影响。由于在家中违规的发生以及对员工和合作伙伴的相关影响可能每天都在波动，因此测试了多级两阶段调节调解模型。结果显示，违规行为通过员工情感压力对伴侣情感压力产生间接影响，一周内的高情绪压力缓和了情感事件和交叉过程。讨论了对学者和组织的影响。由于在家中违规的发生以及对员工和合作伙伴的相关影响可能每天都在波动，因此测试了多级两阶段调节调解模型。结果显示，违规行为通过员工情感压力对伴侣情感压力产生间接影响，一周内的高情绪压力缓和了情感事件和交叉过程。讨论了对学者和组织的影响。
