Summary:The attention of work-family enrichment literature has increased recently. Although many research with regards to work-family enrichment has been done, only a few study have examined on how organization may promote work-family enrichment for individual well being. So, the purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between job resources (supervisory coaching, autonomy and task variety) and work-family enrichment, as well as the mediator role of opportunity for professional development on this relationship. The variables of job resources are distinctly examined the relationship with work-family enrichment as well as the role of opportunity for professional development on the relationship. A survey with 121 respondents conducted among nurses with U29 grade in public hospital at Bintulu, Sarawak and all the responses were analyzed using SPSS version 19. The results indicate that supervisory coaching, task variety and opportunity for professional v development is positively significant related to work-family enrichment. However, autonomy in the context nurses is not significantly related to work-family enrichment. The relationship between supervisory coaching and task variety with work-family enrichment are significantly mediated by opportunity for professional development. Thus, organizations are encouraged to improve opportunities for professional development which can improve individual quality work, life and job performance. Moreover, more autonomy should be given to workers so that they can enhance the efficiency in the workplace.
