Work-Family Conflict, Family-Work Conflict and its Effect on Emotional Exhaustion and Affective Commitment

Open access
The present study developed and tested an integrative model of the work-family interface consist of work-family conflict (WFC) and family-work conflict on affective commitment directly and indirectly through emotional exhaustion. In recognizing the highly stressful nature of the microfinance profession, analyses were based on existing questionnaire data from 244 participants (204 male and 40 female officers) who were full-time professional employees of Lembaga Perkreditan Desa (LPD) – village credit institutions in Bali. Two of four hypotheses are rejected in this study. In addition, the study has shown that emotional exhausting has a mediating effect on the relationship between work-family conflict and affective commitment. This pattern of mediating role is not suitable in the relationship between family-work conflict and affective commitment. Results also generally provide support for further research; the limitations and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
