Background:

• Negative work-home interference (NegWHI) is known to affect work attitudes and behaviors.
• Understanding factors influencing NegWHI is crucial for organizational effectiveness and employee well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

• To examine the mediating role of perceived organizational support (POS) between organizational justice (OJ) and NegWHI.
• To investigate the mediating role of NegWHI between POS and well-being outcomes (job satisfaction, intention to quit, job strain, job engagement).

Main Methods:

• Survey data collected from 509 Belgian hospital employees.
• Structural equation modeling and bootstrapping method used for data analysis.

Main Results:

• POS partially or fully mediated the relationship between various dimensions of OJ and NegWHI.
• NegWHI partially or fully mediated the relationship between POS and job satisfaction, intention to quit, and job strain.
• POS was positively associated with job engagement.

Conclusions:

• Organizations can mitigate NegWHI and enhance well-being by increasing POS.
• Promoting workplace justice is key to boosting POS and supporting employees in managing work-life balance.
