Abstract
Prior research has predominantly centred on the negative conflicts of the interplay between work and family obligations, with limited attention paid to the concept of work–family enrichment, particularly within the context of social work. Furthermore, little is known about the underlying mechanisms through which work–family enrichment influences social workers' life meaning. To address these gaps, this study endeavours to scrutinise the serial mediation pathway involving self-efficacy and work engagement in elucidating the relationship between work–family enrichment and life meaning. A sample of 1,023 social workers (mean age = 36.24) is methodically selected through a multistage cluster random sampling approach in Hangzhou City, China. The empirical results provide evidence supporting a serial mediation path from self-efficacy with work engagement is posited to operate between work–family enrichment and life meaning. These findings hold both theoretical and practical significance, offering insights relevant to social workers, supervisors and their organisations.

Abstract
Role stress is considered a risk factor for child welfare workers' job performance, but little is known about its influencing paths. This study examines the mediating effects of two dimensions of collective psychological ownership in the association between role stress and job performance and reveals how Chinese culture shapes child welfare workers' thoughts and behaviours. A sample of 2,943 Chinese child welfare workers is obtained from the data-set of the 2019 China Social Work Longitudinal Study. Findings illustrate that the association between role stress and job performance is partially mediated by shared decision-making and shared hardship endurance. The mediating effect of shared hardship endurance is much stronger than that of shared decision-making. This study clarifies the underlying mechanisms between role stress and job performance, enriching the limited knowledge of the child welfare profession. Practical implications for improving the job performance of child welfare workers are provided.
