Summary:碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 管理學院管理科學學程 === 99 === The first purpose of this research is to explore the relationships between work overtime and work-family conflict (FWC/WFC). The second purpose is to examine the moderating effects of employee’s biographic background and personality on the above relationships. Three hundred and ninety two employees from public and private business entities were sampled for questionnaire survey and provided data for hypothesis testing. Regression analyses were used in data analysis. The results of the analyses howed that: 1. More overtime hours led to greater WFC and FWC. 2. Frequency of overtime work and a feeling of busy while working overtime was positively related to WFC. 3. Positive attitude toward overtime work was negatively related to WFC and FWC. 4. Men in overtime work experienced a higher level of FWC than women. 5. The personality trait of openness to experience had no influence on the overtime and FWC or WFC relationship. The findings of this research could contribute to assist managers in maintaining a balance between enterprise activities and employee’s family lives in order to make employee feel less stressed on their jobs and hence improve their productivities.
