Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Results: The results showed a statistically significant difference between the two groups of nurses and teachers in the variables of perceived stress (F = 9.85 and P <0.01), work-family conflict (F = 14.77 and P <0.01) and burnout. There was a job (F = 24.22 and P <0.01).

Working in law enforcement can be a trying experience that can result in work-family conflict. Work-family conflict occurs when the domains of work and home spill into one another, causing strain and conflict for a person. There are four major dimensions of work-family conflict: time-based, behaviour-based, strain-based and family-based. One consequence of being exposed to the stressor of work-family conflict over time is job burnout. Job burnout has three major dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and a reduced sense of personal accomplishment on the job. The current study explored the association between four types of work-family conflict with the three dimensions of burnout among Indian police officers. All four types of work-family conflict were positively related to emotional burnout. Time-based, behaviour-based and family-based conflict had significant positive associations with depersonalisation burnout and with reduced sense of personal accomplishment burnout.

In this study, we investigated the relationship between work–family conflict and job burnout as well as the potential mediation/moderation effects of psychological capital. Participants were 357 university teachers who completed a questionnaire packet containing a work–family conflict scale, psychological capital questionnaire, and Maslach Burnout Inventory–General survey. According to the results, work–family conflict and psychological capital were both significantly correlated with job burnout. In addition, psychological capital cannot mediate—but can moderate—the relationship between work–family conflict and job burnout. Taken together, our findings shed light on the psychological capital underlying the association of work–family conflict and job burnout.

In this study we examined the relationships among job stress, role stress, work-family conflict, and emotional exhaustion among electronics industry employees in China. Empirical data was gained from 466 questionnaires. Factor analysis and regression analysis were employed. It was found that job stress and role stress have a significant effect on emotional exhaustion, and that work-family conflict has a positive effect on emotional exhaustion. We determined that there is a need for human resource management staff in the industry to establish and strengthen a scheme of organizational support that extends to the families of employees.

The main aim of this study is to determine the relationship between work-family conflict (WFC) and job burnout experienced by an employee. This study follows a cross-sectional and quantitative approach. Self-administered, ordinal scale based questionnaires are used as an instrument to collect the responses from 200 respondents, working in the head offices of two private banks in Islamabad, Pakistan. Kendall tau-b rank correlation coefficient, linear regression and one-way ANOVA are employed for testing conceptual and mathematical model. The results of statistical analysis shows that both the domains of work-family conflict i.e. family interference with work and work interference with family, significantly and positively influence the job burnout of employees. Organizations must take an initiative to resolve the work-family conflict so that the employees devote their full capacity to work and also be able to meet their family requirements easily.
