Abstract
This study examined the associations of work-family conflicts (WFC) with problem drinking and the mediating effect of depression among Korean married workers. The data of 2386 married workers were used from the 2017 Korean Welfare Panel Study. The data classified into two groups, young adults and middle-aged based on age 45. The association of WFC with problem drinking and the mediating effect of depression was assessed by combining logistic and linear regression. WFC was associated with problem drinking, and the mediating effect of depression was significant in the middle-aged group. Meanwhile, depression only has a direct effect on problem drinking in the young adult group. A strategy for treating depression may be important for countering problem drinking. However, an age-tailored intervention should be considered WFC supporting middle-aged workers.
