Work and family life are the most important part of life for men and women in today’s workplace. The individuals are required to take the responsibilities of work and family roles. However, the development and popularization of information technology results in the time of division between work and family life becomes blurred trend. The message and information of work dumps to us by ubiquitious transmission technique everywhere and everytime even afterwork. Information technology not only increases efficency of work, but also induces pressure. It really interrups our leisure time and bothers our life. This study will examine the impact of work stress, job conflict and stress effects, and further explore the effect of communication with the instant messaging software using intelligent mobile devices to work with job stress and workplace conflicts. This study uses a web-based questionnaire to collect sample data and send a questionnaire through community sites, instant messaging tools, and e-mail. This study is intended to pressure theory and work-family conflict model, coupled with the technical pressure to do the relevant factors. The data analysis method was used to model the structural equation, and SPSS and Smart PLS were used as the main statistical analysis tools to verify the causal relationship between the variables in the research model. The results are as follows: (1)The work pressure will “positive” affect the work-family conflict. (2)There is no positive correlation between work load and work-family conflict. (3)Scientific and technological violations will “positive” affect the work-family conflict. (4)There is no positive correlation between the overloading of science and technology and Work-family conflict. (5)Work-family conflict “negative” affects job satisfaction. (6)Work-family conflict “negative” affects family satisfaction. (7)Work-family conflict will be “negative” affect the work of physical and mental health.


Introduction: In recent years, with the increase in growth of Information Technology (IT) companies and diversified workforce, there is an increased research on Work\family conflict and occupational future. Objective: The objective is to study about the work\family conflict relation with occupational future with the effect of environmental support (support from organization and family) as moderator. Methodology: The data is gathered from 392 Information Technology employees working in different Information Technology companies in India. The data is analyzed with hierarchical regression and correlation Results: The outcomes of the study divulged a positive relation between work\family conflict and occupational future. And also, the results showed that every environmental item does not moderate between work family conflict and occupational future. Conclusion: Therefore work and occupational future is significant for the existence of IT industry, provide practical awareness of employee welfare and improve balanced life which might differ under certain specific conditions.

Zusammenfassung. In diesem Beitrag wird die Trierer Kurzskala zur Messung von Work-Life Balance vorgestellt. Sie ermöglicht eine globale, richtungsfreie und in ihrem Aufwand ökonomische Möglichkeit zur Erfassung von Work-Life Balance. Die Struktur der Skala wurde anhand zweier Stichproben sowie einem zusätzlich erhobenen Fremdbild untersucht. Die Ergebnisse der Konstruktvalidierung bestätigten die einfaktorielle Struktur der Skala. Die interne Konsistenz der Skala erwies sich in beiden Studien als gut. Zudem konnte die empirische Trennbarkeit der Trierer Work-Life Balance Skala gegenüber einem gängigen Instrument zur Messung des Work-Family Conflicts ( Carlson, Kacmar & Williams, 2000 ) belegt werden. Im Hinblick auf die Kriteriumsvalidität der Skala wurden die angenommenen Zusammenhänge zu arbeits-, nicht-arbeits- sowie stressbezogenen Outcome-Variablen nachgewiesen. Die Eignung der Trierer Work-Life Balance Kurzskala zeigt sich auch daran, dass die Korrelationen zwischen den erhobenen Outcome-Variablen und dem Work-Family Conflict und denen der Trierer Work-Life Balance Skala ähnlich waren. Überdies vermochte die Trierer Work-Life Balance Skala über die Dimensionen des Work-Family Conflicts hinaus inkrementelle Varianz in den Outcome-Variablen aufzuklären. Insgesamt sprechen damit die Ergebnisse beider Stichproben für die Reliabilität und Validität der Trierer Work-Life Balance Kurzskala.

This study investigated the direct, reversed, and reciprocal relationships between bidirectional work-family conflict/work-family facilitation and psychological well-being (PWB). We administered a three-wave questionnaire survey to 260 married Chinese employees using a time lag of one month. Cross-lagged structural equation modeling analysis was conducted and demonstrated that the direct model was better than the reversed causal or the reciprocal model. Specifically, work-to-family conflict at Time 1 negatively predicted PWB at Time 2, and work-to-family conflict at Time 2 negatively predicted PWB at Time 3; further, work-to-family facilitation at Time 1 positively predicted PWB at Time 2. In addition, family-to-work facilitation at Time 1 positively predicted PWB at Time 2, and family-to-work conflict at Time 2 negatively predicted PWB at Time 3.
