Abstract

This study investigates the intricate dynamics between idiosyncratic deals, work-family interface, and job satisfaction among knowledge-based employees of the new generation in Jiangxi Province, China. Idiosyncratic deals, characterized by personalized arrangements between employees and their organizations, have gained prominence as mechanisms for addressing individual needs and preferences. However, the extent to which these deals influence job satisfaction among knowledge-based employees remains underexplored, particularly within the unique cultural and organizational context of Jiangxi Province. Drawing upon social exchange theory and the conservation of resources theory, this research proposes a conceptual framework to examine the mediating role of the work-family interface in the relationship between idiosyncratic deals and job satisfaction. The work-family interface serves as a crucial mechanism through which idiosyncratic deals may impact employees' job satisfaction, as it reflects the balance and integration of work and family roles, responsibilities, and resources. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, data will be collected from a sample of knowledge-based employees from various industries in Jiangxi Province. Quantitative data will be obtained through structured surveys measuring idiosyncratic deals, work-family interface, and job satisfaction, while qualitative data will be gathered through in-depth interviews to provide nuanced insights into the experiences and perceptions of participants. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to both theoretical and practical domains. Theoretically, it will advance our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the relationship between idiosyncratic deals and job satisfaction, shedding light on the mediating role of the work-family interface. Practically, the findings will offer valuable implications for organizational leaders and policymakers in Jiangxi Province, providing guidance on how to optimize idiosyncratic deal structures and support mechanisms to enhance the job satisfaction and well-being of knowledge-based employees, thereby fostering sustainable organizational success in the region.
