work family conflict
This document defines work-family conflict and outlines its direction, types, factors, outcomes, and techniques for reducing it. Work-family conflict occurs when the demands of one role (work or family) are incompatible with the demands of the other. There are two directions of conflict: work interfering with family, and family interfering with work. Conflict can be time-based, strain-based, or behavior-based. Factors include work demands, family responsibilities, and lack of support. Outcomes include decreased job and life satisfaction, absenteeism, and health issues. Techniques to reduce conflict involve flexible schedules, proper time management, family-friendly benefits, counseling, and open communication.
