İş-aile-özel hayat çatışması: 3 boyutlu modelin test edilmesi

This study aimed at examining the conflict between work, family and personal life (WFPC). The concept of WFPC was generated by adding personal life domain to the concept of work-family conflict. It was proposed that if balance between work, family and personal life was not maintained, psychological well-being would be affected negatively. Work demands (i.e., work overload, job control, and schedule inflexibility) and family demands (i.e., age of the youngest child, family control, and family overload) were hypothesized to be the antecedents of WFPC in the model. The model proposed that psychological well-being was associated with WFPC. Survey data were collected from 448 white-collar employees with at least one child. Results revealed that prevalence of work interfering with personal life (WIP) was higher than other types of interferences. As hypothesized, work overload was associated with WIP and family overload was associated with family interfering with personal life (FIP). FIP was also found to be significantly correlated with all indicators of psychological well-being in this study. The study is expected to contribute to science by testing interferences among three domains of life; work, family and personal life which there is little research about. There are also practical implications of the study that can guide employees to understand the antecedents and consequences of WFPC, and motivate organizations to widen the ranges of their family-friendly policies to policies that consider personal life, too.Key Words: Work-family-personal life conflict, life balance, job demands, family demands, depression, anxiety, burnout, life satisfaction.
