Abstract

We use broaden and build theory (Fredrickson, 1998; 2001) to examine the relationship between work-family balance and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB), and the extent to which these relationships are mediated by positive affect. Using a sample of 205 supervisor-subordinate dyads, we found that subordinate work-family balance predicted supervisors’ appraisals of subordinate’s engagement in both organization and individual OCB and was fully mediated by positive affect rated by the subordinate. Additionally, we found that these fully mediated relationships held when positive affect was measured by the supervisor.
