Abstract

Background: With the development of the times, more and more new technologies appear in people's lives, and the emergence of cell phones, computers and other electronic communication devices has made the communication between people more convenient and diversified. Electronic communication refers to a way of communication with electronic information technology as the carrier. In the workplace, the use of cell phones, computers and other electronic communication devices for work communication has become a common phenomenon. In previous studies, e-communication during non-working hours has a positive impact on employees' job performance and job satisfaction. Based on the positive impact of e-communication during non-working hours on job satisfaction, one would realize that e-communication during non-working hours also has a positive impact on harmonious work passion. However, there are few studies on the relationship between e-communication during non-working hours and harmonious work motivation. Moreover, some studies have shown that e-communication during non-working hours can trigger work-family conflict, and work-family conflict can have a negative impact on harmonious work passion. Objective: This study intends to investigate the effect of e-communication during non-working hours on harmonious work passion and the mediating role of work-family conflict in between. Methods: This study uses hierarchical regression analysis to analyze the theoretical hypotheses of this paper based on conservation of resource theory. Conclusion: e-communication during non-working has a significant negative impact on harmonious work passion, while work-family conflict plays a mediating role between the two.
