Role Conflict, Role Balance and Affect: A Model of Well-being of the Working Student

A conceptual model of the working college students’ well-being was developed and tested. This study extends existing research and investigated the process by which rolebalance, role-conflict and affect are associated with a student’s well-being. Data were obtained from a sample of 320 full-time college students (18-23 years old) who had either a full and a part-time paid job. The model was tested using structural equation modeling. Results supported the proposed conceptual model as well as the enrichment and depletion arguments of students’ engagement in multiple roles and their well-being.

建立并测试了在职大学生幸福感的概念模型。本研究拓展了现有研究，探讨了角色平衡、角色冲突和情感与学生幸福感相关联的过程。数据来自320名18 - 23岁的全日制大学生样本，这些学生都有一份全职或兼职的有薪工作。使用结构方程模型对该模型进行了测试。结果支持了所提出的概念模型，以及学生参与多种角色及其幸福感的增益和损耗论点。
