Effects of work-family conflict, work-family balance and support on well-being of private university academicians

Work and family are the two most important domains of employees’ lives. Work- Family Conflict (W-FC), Work Family Balance (WFB), Work Family Support (WFS) and Well-being (job, family and life satisfactions) are very crucial to academicians because of experiencing blurred boundary between work and fa...

description Work and family are the two most important domains of employees’ lives. Work- Family Conflict (W-FC), Work Family Balance (WFB), Work Family Support (WFS) and Well-being (job, family and life satisfactions) are very crucial to academicians because of experiencing blurred boundary between work and family domains. W-FC is defined as a form of inter-role conflict in which role pressures from the work and family domains are mutually incompatible in some aspects. Considering the assumptions of work family boundary theory, the present study distinguishes the directionality of the W-FC that is work interferences with family is known as Work to Family Conflict (W to FC) which is viewed as a distinct construct from family interferences with work is called Family to Work Conflict (F to WC).
