dc.description.abstractThe issue of work-family conflict among professionals has received a lot of attention in the academic field. The purpose of this research was to examine the antecedents (work-related factors and family-related factors) and consequences (job satisfaction, family satisfaction, and intention to turnover) of work-family conflict. The sample of this study consisted of 185 married accountants in Penang, who had at least one child and worked under the supervision of a manager. The regression results revealed that work-related factors and family-related factors were found to significantly influence work-family conflict. Specifically, it was discovered that time pressures (number of hours spent at paid work per week and work schedule inflexibility), role stressors (role ambiguity, role conflict, and role overload), and working spouse were positively related to work-family conflict. On the other hand, manager support and spouse support were negatively related to work-family conflict. Additionally, work-family conflict was found to be associated with lower job satisfaction, lower family satisfaction, and higher intention to turnover.en_US
