Abstract

Drawing　on　the　work-home　resources　model,　this　study　examines　how　and　why　empowering　leadership　influences　followers＇　work-family　conflict　(WFC)　and　work-family　positive　spillover　(WFPS).　We　focus　on　the　mediating　roles　of　leader-member　exchange　(LMX)　and　organization-based　self-esteem　(OBSE)　and　the　moderating　role　of　followers＇　political　skills.　The　results　from　a　two-wave　field　survey　of　272　employees　in　a　state-owned　enterprise　in　China　indicate　that　LMX　mediates　the　relationship　between　empowering　leadership　and　WFPS　and　that　OBSE　mediates　the　relationship　between　empowering　leadership　and　WFC.　Moreover,　political　skills　strengthen　the　main　effects　of　empowering　leadership　on　LMX　and　OBSE　and　the　mediating　effect　of　LMX　on　the　relationship　between　empowering　leadership　and　WFPS.　Our　findings　have　theoretical　and　managerial　implications　and　indicate　new　research　directions　for　leadership　and　work-family　issues.
