In two studies, we examined preconditions of resource-building processes between family and work. Focusing on positive father-child interactions, we investigated positive mood states as links between the two life domains. Fathers employed in information technology (N₁ = 59) and the retail sector (N₂ = 75) participated in micro-longitudinal studies, both for eight consecutive workdays. Study 1 revealed that fathers with more positive interactions with a child also reported more positive mood states and fathers with more positive mood states perceived more social resources from their supervisor during the week. The indirect effect was small but significant. In Study 2, multilevel structural-equation models did not find indirect effects at the within-person level but did show that positive father-child interactions after work were related to fathers’ positive mood states before going to bed and positive mood in the morning predicted perceived social resources from supervisors (but not from coworkers) in the forenoon. There were also positive effects of perceived social resources from supervisors on positive mood states, after work. But these did not translate into an increase in positive father-child interactions, in the evening. Hence, only single elements were supported but not the overall resource caravan.

在两项研究中，我们检查了家庭和工作之间资源建设过程的先决条件。专注于积极的父子互动，我们调查了积极的情绪状态作为两个生活领域之间的联系。受雇于信息技术（N ₁  = 59）和零售业（N _{2 ）的父亲} = 75) 连续八个工作日参加了微纵向研究。研究 1 显示，与孩子互动更积极的父亲也报告了更积极的情绪状态，而情绪状态更积极的父亲在一周内从主管那里获得了更多的社会资源。间接影响很小但很显着。在研究 2 中，多层次结构方程模型没有发现个人内部层面的间接影响，但确实表明工作后积极的父子互动与父亲睡前的积极情绪状态和早晨的积极情绪预测有关上午从主管（但不是同事）那里感知到的社会资源。下班后，主管感知到的社会资源对积极情绪状态也有积极影响。但这些并没有转化为晚上积极的父子互动的增加。因此，仅支持单个元素，而不支持整体资源商队。
