Abstract

Despite numerous benefits, sustaining daily passion for one’s work is challenging. While prior research has examined personal and work-related factors that cause fluctuations in daily work passion, the impact of family-related factors remains underexplored. Drawing on the stressor-detachment model, we investigated the effects of daily family demands on daily work passion. Employing a daily diary design involving 161 participants over 3 weeks, this study reveals that high family demands on a given day decreased psychological detachment from family the next day, subsequently lowering employees’ work passion. Furthermore, employees’ work–life balance self-efficacy and availability of family-friendly policies buffer the adverse impact of daily family demands on daily psychological detachment from one’s family and attenuate the indirect effects of daily family demands on daily work passion via daily psychological detachment from family. This study extends the literature on work passion and psychological detachment by shifting the focus from work to family domain.
