The saying that “Man are breadwinners; women are homemakers” has been phased out because husband and wife both share the responsibility for supporting their family together. Therefore, the duties of job and house will be redistributed. In Asian society, wives take charge of majority of housework; however, although husbands are only assigned for much smaller proportion of the housework, they still think that they have another job at home. As a result, under this tendency, the work family conflict has affected on worker's psychological feeling more than before. Previous researches showed different effects of work family conflicts on job satisfaction and life satisfaction. This research is based on the framework of Frone, Russell, & Cooper, (1992) to probe into the influence of difference directions of work family conflicts on work and the non-work field. An individual variable, role identity, is integrated to examine the moderating effects of individuals’ different identity tendency. 1395 questionnaires were distributed, effective return rate was 75.48%. The result from examination of Pearson correlation analysis and regression analysis demonstrates that the work family conflict (WFC) affects job satisfaction and life satisfaction; however, the family work conflict (FWC) only affects life satisfaction. The result of role identity is consistence with the hypothesis in this research. The last part of this study is to discuss the findings from the result and come up with some management implications.
