Abstract
In this paper, a theoretical model of the effects of work stress on the work-family conflict of young college teachers was constructed by using emotional exhaustion as a mediator and organizational support as a moderator. The results show that the dimensions of work stress have significant positive effects on work-family conflict, and emotional exhaustion plays a partially mediating role. Moreover, perceived organizational support significantly moderates the effects of work stress on work-family conflict among young college teachers. Starting from the individual level, the family level and the organization and management level of the young teachers in colleges and universities, this research actively explores ways to relieve the work pressure of the young teachers in colleges and universities so as to avoid emotional exhaustion as much as possible. At the same time, this paper puts forward some pertinent countermeasures and suggestions to harmonize and balance the relationship between work and family and provides some strategies for optimizing the organization and management of colleges and universities.
