The Influence of Work and Family as A Factor of Antecedents of Work-Family Conflict among Staff at Uitm Pahang

Abstract

Work and family are two vital aspects that are challenging to integrate and balance. Work-family conflict is becoming increasingly common among both men and women. As a result, the purpose of this study was to determine the level of work-family conflict among UiTM Pahang staff. The relationship between work-related factor (job participation, role conflict, role ambiguity, and role overload) and family-related factor (family involvement and family support) in relation to work-family conflict was also investigated in this study, which included 144 participants. SPSS was used to evaluate quantitative data. All of the factors had a positive link with work-family conflict, according to the findings. Role conflict, role ambiguity, role overload, family involvement, and family support all had a significant impact on work-family conflict in regression analysis. The result from this study reveals that the role ambiguity had the greatest influence on work-family conflict, followed by role overload and role conflict. Family support and involvement, on the other hand, had a negative influence on work-family conflict. To sum, work-related factors are one of several determinants that may have a significant impact on work-family conflict among staff.
