Abstract

Work family conflict is an area of growing interest to the duo; ie: the Government and employers alike, According to Greenhaus and Beutell (1989) work family conflict is is defined as Ii form of inter-role conflict in which the role pressures from the work and family domains are mutually incompatible in some respect. The focus on this arena is gaining momentum due to the fact that women play a critical combination of roles 'caring' at home and 'working' at the workplace. As governments and employers are becoming increasingly dependent on the contribution from women workforce, this dilemma of work-family balance and the resultant conflict appears to be a serious concern.
