ABSTRACT

The study investigates overall indicators of work-family conflict reported by IT professionals and analyzes whether work-family conflict is impacted by a number of variables, including gender, marital status, job category, IT work experience, and family-friendly work environment. The study uses an instrument developed by Carlson, et. al. (2000) which measures six categories of work-family conflict, including Time-Based Work Interference with Family, Time-Based Family Interference with Work, Strain-based Work Interference with Family, Strain-based Family Interference with Work, Behavior-based Work Interference with Family, and Behavior-based Family Interference with Work.
