简要总结
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of FSST 2.0 (family supportive supervisor training plus support for use of family and sick leaves) using a randomized control trial design. We expect the intervention will increase supervisors' family supportive and leave supportive behaviors, which in turn will increase employees' leave use and decrease employees' work-family conflict, emotional exhaustion, depressive symptoms, and turnover intentions. This study will enroll a minimum 200 groups of managers and their employees. Managers in the intervention condition will complete pre- and 2 post-intervention Workplace Assessments, 2 online training modules, 1 webinar where managers can review intervention content and ask questions and share reactions on the materials. Managers in the control group and employees in both groups will complete pre- and 2 post-intervention Workplace Assessments. The post-intervention Workplace Assessment will be completed 3 and 6 months after the intervention. The total duration of the study is 9 months as the wait list control group will be offered the intervention and 2nd follow up survey after the 6-month trial.
详细描述
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of FSST 2.0 (family supportive supervisor training plus support for use of family and sick leaves) using a randomized control trial design.
-
Phase of the Trial Based on the NIH's definition, the current study is a Phase III clinical trial, which usually involves several hundred or more human subjects, for the purpose of evaluating an experimental intervention in comparison with a standard or controlled intervention or comparing two or more existing treatments.
-
Type of trial - a randomized-control trial
-
Randomization strategy
-
Randomization method The current study employs a cluster randomization strategy to assign organizations to either Condition A (intervention group) or Condition B (control group) for a few key reasons. First, although only the supervisors will receive the training, the effectiveness of the training will be assessed at the employee' level, thereby needing a nested data structure. Second, cluster randomization is effective in reducing contamination (Puffer et al., 2005). Third, when the intervention is offered at a group level, cluster randomization increases the external validity of the results (Donner & Klar, 2000). Within each organization, we will use a balanced group randomization strategy such that there will be an equal number of workgroups/teams/departments in the intervention or control condition. In the event that there is an odd number of such units, a slight imbalance (i.e., groups per condition) will be off by one group, which has minimal impact on statistical power to detect intervention effects.
-
Unit of randomization - organization
-
Allocation ratio - the same number of teams (one supervisor and at least 6 employees) will be recruited in both organization
-
Timing of randomization - before the baseline assessment
-
The statistician of the study will generate and implement the randomization schema.
-
Specification of the number of study groups/arms - 2
-
Duration of the study intervention - 6 months
-
Follow-up period - 3 and 5 months after the intervention
-
Name and brief description of study intervention FSST 2.0 is a workplace intervention package designed to increase supervisors' family and leave supportive behaviors and leave supportive behaviors. The package includes Workplace Assessment tool, 2 30-45-minute online training modules (family-supportive supervisor training and supervisors' leave supportive behavior training), a webinar, behavior training, and organizational reports.
-
Control group The current trial employs a wait-list control group, "whereby participants will receive the usual care and will later receive the intervention in addition to the usual care" (Kinser & Robins, 2013, p.2).
One or more organization will be randomly assigned to receive the intervention and the other organization(s) will serve as a wait-list control group.
Mangers in the intervention group will be asked to:

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Family Supportive Supervisor Behaviors
时间窗: 5 months after the intervention
Family supportive supervisor behavior scale. Original scale: Minimum value = 1, Maximum value = 5. Reported numbers represent change in these values over time: Time 3 (5-months post-baseline survey) - Time 1 (baseline survey) scores. Positive scores = increase in scores over time (better outcome). Negative scores = decrease in scores over time (worse outcome).
Change in Leave Supportive Supervisor Behaviors
时间窗: 5 months after the intervention
Original scale: Minimum value = 1, Maximum value = 5. Reported numbers represent change in these values over time: Time 3 (5-months post-baseline survey) - Time 1 (baseline survey) scores. Positive scores = increase in scores over time (better outcome). Negative scores = decrease in scores over time (worse outcome).
