特殊交易（i - deals）是指员工和管理者之间协商的个性化工作安排，为适应多样化的员工需求提供了一种有希望的方法。在传统社会交换理论视角的基础上，本研究整合了个人-环境契合和自我效能的理论，考察了灵活性交易对工作-家庭冲突和富裕的影响。我们特别考虑了两种中介机制：需求-供给（N - S）契合和家庭-角色效能。反过来，这些与工作-家庭冲突负相关，而与工作-家庭充实正相关。蒙特卡罗自助分析证实了N - S拟合和家庭-角色效能的间接影响。通过使用另一种理论视角，我们增加了对i - deals效应背后机制的理解。本研究将现有的i - deal研究扩展到一个经验不足的领域：工作-家庭充实。我们的研究结果还证实了i - deal对工作家庭的好处，并增强了管理者对在工作场所实施i - deal的好处的信心。
Idiosyncratic deals (i‐deals), which involve personalised work arrangements negotiated between employees and their managers, offer a promising approach to accommodating the demands of a diverse workforce. In contrast with the traditional social exchange theory perspective, we integrate the theories of person–environment fit and self‐efficacy to examine the effect of flexibility i‐deals on both work‐to‐family conflict and enrichment. We specifically consider two mediating mechanisms: needs–supplies (N‐S) fit and family‐role efficacy. Results from two Chinese samples reveal that supervisor‐rated flexibility i‐deals relate positively with employees' family‐role efficacy and N‐S fit. These, in turn, relate to work‐to‐family conflict negatively and to work‐to‐family enrichment positively. Monte Carlo bootstrapping analyses confirm the indirect effects of N‐S fit and family‐role efficacy. By using an alternative theoretical perspective, we add to our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the i‐deals effect. This study expands existing i‐deals research to an empirically underrepresented area: work–family enrichment. Our findings also confirm the work–family benefits of i‐deals and strengthen managers' confidence regarding the merits of implementing i‐deals in the workplace.
