Abstract
Based on the job demands and resources model, we propose that work and spouse demands are positively related to work-family conflict and that religiosity, which acts as a personal resource, mediates the relationship between both forms of demands and work-family conflict. Further, we also propose that interdependent self-construal is positively related to the conflict in the work-family interface and religiosity mediates this relationship. We test these hypotheses using a large midlife development sample of individuals in Japan (N=1027). Results provide support for the main effects for job and spouse demands on work-family conflict, as well as mediating effects of religiosity. In addition, we also found support for hypotheses pertaining to main and indirect effects of interdependent self-construal. Our results reveal that within the family domain, religiosity is viewed as a demand. We discuss the implications of this research for the theory and practice of religiosity and work-family conflict in organizations.
