| Summary: | 碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 心理學系 === 92 === This research aimed to understand the perceived work-family conflict (WFC), family-work conflict (FWC), their antecedences and consequences in terms of personal life adjustment and mental health. In addition, the moderating effect of individual culture was considered. Subjects with full time employment were recruited, and structured questionnaires were used for data collection. A total of 220 valid questionnaires were returned.
The main findings of the study were as follows:
1. “Work demands” positively predicted WFC.
2. “Family demands” positively predicted FWC.
3. WFC negatively predicted “work satisfaction”, “family satisfaction” and “happiness”.
4. FWC negatively predicted “family satisfaction”.
5. Both “work satisfaction” and “family satisfaction” positively predicted “happiness”.
6. Females reported higher “family demands” than males, but males perceived higher FWC.
7. Non-managerial employees perceived higher WFC than managers.
In addition, certain moderating effects were found:
1. “Independent self” buffered the effect of “work demands” on WFC.
2. “Independent self” exacerbated the effect of “family demands” on FWC.
3. “Interdependent self” buffered the effect of “work demands” on WFC.
