Work and Family Conflict

Work and Family Conflict occurs when the demands or responsibilities of our job and home life compete or clash, making it difficult to fulfill both roles effectively. For example, long work hours may reduce time with family, or family emergencies may disrupt work commitments. This ongoing tension can lead to stress, burnout, and dissatisfaction in both areas. It highlights the challenge of balancing professional obligations with personal and family needs, emphasizing the importance of managing boundaries and finding a healthy equilibrium.
