| Description |
This paper discusses the work-family conflict that forms the central construct of the work-family literature, and is defined as the experience of mutually incompatible pressures that stem from work and family domains. Juggling myriad responsibilities within the areas of work and family - two of the most important life domains for most adults - has become increasingly difficult. Consequently, the level of experienced conflict has been rising steadily in the last three decades and has a detrimental effect on the individual, family, organizations, and society at large.On the basis of construct definition, the purpose of this paper is to provide a synthesis of the antecedents and outcomes of the work-family conflict. The authors first analyze two categories of antecedents - individual differences and job/family characteristics. Furthermore, outcomes are classified as variables related to well-being, attitudes, and behaviors. By having a clearer understanding of what causes conflict between work and family roles and by being aware of the detrimental effects that conflict has on individuals and organizations, HR professionals, managers, and representatives of other institutions can work together toward developing initiatives for the better integration of work and family roles.
