Abstract: Abstract This study examined the mediating roles of work-to-family enrichment and family-to-work enrichment in the relationship between work–family support and subjective well-being. Structural equation modelling results, based on cross-sectional data from 217 university employees in Ghana, showed that work support and family support were positively related to work-to-family enrichment and family-to-work enrichment. The results also showed that work-to-family enrichment mediated the relationship between work support and subjective well-being, while family-to-work enrichment mediated the relationships of work support and family support with subjective well-being. This research demonstrates that work–family enrichment provides pathways through which support resources in the work and family roles influence subjective well-being. The implications of these findings for theory and practice are discussed.
