Abstract or Summary

We extend the daily dairy wellbeing literature by unravelling daily work and family factors and their influence on employee wellbeing in a sample of managers and business owners. Four days diary data was collected from 113 respondents and analysed using multi-level statistical analysis. Daily family-work conflict positively influenced daily job burnout, while daily autonomy satisfaction reduced burnout. Daily family-work enrichment positively influenced daily work engagement, as did daily needs satisfaction (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) and daily perceived autonomous support. Furthermore, daily burnout reduced work-life balance and this was fully mediated by daily work-family conflict. In addition, daily engagement increased work-life balance and this was partially mediated by daily work-family enrichment. The implications for researching daily wellbeing of employees are discussed.
