In the post-pandemic era,the employee mental health has emerged as a prominent issue in the workplace,necessitating a clearer understanding of its underlying mechanisms.Drawing on Imprinting Theory and Conservation of Resources Theory,this study specifically investigates the impact of family-of-origin communication patterns on employees'subjective well-being and emotional exhaustion,as well as the mediating mechanisms involved.Through a multi-wave survey and data analysis of 173 employees,the findings indicate that conversation communication patterns in the family-of-origin positively affect employees'subjective well-being and negatively influence their emotional exhaustion.In contrast,conformity communication patterns in the family-of-origin positively impact employees'emotional exhaustion.Additionally,conformity communication patterns in the family-of-origin negatively moderate the positive effect of conversation communication patterns on psychological capital.Furthermore,these conformity communication patterns negatively moderate the mediating role of psychological capital in the relationship between conversation communication patterns and employees'subjective well-being and emotional exhaustion.That is,the lower the level of conformity communication patterns in the family-of-origin,the stronger the mediating role of psychological capital.This research expands the research perspectives in the field of organizational management and provides theoretical support for organizational management practices,particularly in recruitment and personnel selection.
