ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the status of work-family balance,and explore the relationship between work-family balance and well-being of female prison police.Methods 185 female prison police from one of prison of Sichuan province were assessed using the questionnaires of work-family balance ques tionnaire and well-being scale,and the data were analyzed using t test,one-way ANOVA,pearson correlation analysis and logical multiple linear regression analysis.Results The total score of work-family balance was (10.22± 1.32).The dimension score of work-family balance from high to low were:resource sharing(3.44± 0.60),family balance (3.38±0.53) and work balance (3.12±0.60).There was no remarkable difference on work-family balance between stage of age and family monthly income;but work-family balance declined with the increases of marriageable age and working age (F=13.01,8.25,both P＜ 0.01).Work balance,family balance resource sharing,work-family balance had significant positive correlation with well-being and it's dimensions(r=0.15 ～ 0.60,P＜0.05).Regression analysis showed that age,marriageable age had a negative predic tive effect on job satisfaction and emotion satisfaction(β=-0.20,-0.24,both P＜0.01),and work family balance and it's dimensions had a positive predictive effect on well-being(3=0.282～0.679,P＜0.01).Conclusion Work-family balance has a significant predictive effect on well-being of female prison police.
