摘要：Although work-family conflict has been identified and analysed by numerous
behavioural researchers, attempts to examine this issue across cultures are
generally lacking. In view of this gap in the literature, this study sought to
examine the influence of support at work (managerial support) and at home
(spousal support) in predicting work-family conflict on a sample of 185 married
accountants in Malaysia. The moderating role of gender in these relationships
was also investigated. Consistent with the hypotheses, the results revealed that
managerial support and spousal support have negative effects on work-family
conflict. In addition, gender was found to moderate the relationships between
both forms of support and work-family conflict. Implications of the findings to
human resource management policies and practices are presented. Variability in
the effects of social support from the work and home domains on work-family
conflict for men and women suggests the need for customised attention.
Limitations of the study and future suggestions are discussed.
