“…The experience of work-family conflict among professionals including physicians have been reported by researchers (Ray and Miller, 1994;Baron and Kenny, 1986a;Bergman et al, 2008). Acknowledging the experience of work-family conflict among physicians, several researchers have studied reduced workload as a condition that could reduce the conflict (Greenhaus and Beutell, 1985;Lingard and Francis, 2006) while other researchers have studied the consequences of the conflict including emotional exhaustion (Innstrand et al, 2008;Baron and Kenny, 1986a;Bergman et al, 2008;Fu and Shaffer, 2001).…”

“…When the total demand on time and energy are too great for an individual to perform the roles adequately or comfortably, role overload occurs (Yip et al, 2008). Individuals who occupy work roles and perceive that their workload is more than they can handle, would experience greater work-family conflict (Greenhaus and Beutell, 1985;Lingard and Francis, 2006). Based on previous research findings, it is expected that junior physicians who have to perform more demanding work would experience a greater intensity of work-family conflict and the following hypothesis was tested.…”

Problem statement:The use of a mediation model for understanding the mediating impact of work-family conflict on the relationship between role overload and emotional exhaustion has not been given much attention. Approach: This study tested a mediation model consisting of emotional exhaustion as the dependent variable and role overload as the independent variable, with work-family conflict as its mediator. Data were gathered from a sample of 220 female junior physicians aged 40 years and below, having at least one child as well as working full-time in 14 public hospitals in Malaysia, using self-administered questionnaires. The data were analyzed using correlation and multiple regression analyses. Results: Results of correlation analyses revealed that role overload was significantly related to work-family conflict and emotional exhaustion and work-family conflict was significantly related to emotional exhaustion. Results of a series of multiple regression analyzed indicated that work-family conflict partially mediated the relationship between role overload and emotional exhaustion. Conclusion/Recommendations: Junior physicians who experience role overload seem to be more emotionally drained and seem to experience greater conflict between work and family roles. There is a need to reduce the role overload that physicians experience by reviewing the ratio between physicians and patients and re-assessing the number of work hours and the weekly frequency of on-calls. Limiting on-call frequency and hours may be more likely to reduce work-family conflict as well as emotional exhaustion.

“…It has been found that certain work variables e.g., work time schedule, self-employment, number and age of children, type of employment contract, are the factors that affect the relationship between work and private life [35][36][37]. Additionally, research of Dyrbye et al [10] showed that such factors as: hours worked per week; occurrence of work-home conflict in the past 3 weeks; and resolving showed that work-home interaction mediated the relationship between various variables (stress role, job/home demands and resources, workload, job schedule, organizational justice) [23], and burnout [4,14,21,24,25]. A few longitudinal studies brought the answer on the causal relationship between these phenomena [26][27][28].…”

“…Also the impact of positive aspects of work-home interaction on burnout in previous research was often omitted. According to the studies demonstrating the direct and indirect relations between work-home interaction (especially the conflict) and burnout [4,10], we consider the quality of work-home interaction as a resource buffering or catalyzing the experience of burnout [14,30] Items are rated on 7-point Likert scale ranging from '0' (never) to '6' (every day). This adaptation of MBI-GS is characterized by content validity and high level of internal consistency.…”

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore configurations of positive versus negative interactions between work and home (WHI) and their relation to burnout and demographic characteristics. Material and Methods: Sample of 533 Polish workers were interviewed by means of self-administered questionnaires (SWING and MBI-GS). Demographic and work characteristics were also controlled. Results: Cluster analysis distinguished 5 types of WHIs: positive WHI (18%), negative WHI (15.9%), no interaction (29.3%), mutual positive interactions (15.4%) and positive HWI (21.4%). The quality of WHI was associated with number of work hours and tenure at main place of employment. The effect of gender on the quality of work-home interaction was not significant. Configuration of WHIs affected the level of burnout. Again, there was no significant difference between men and women in terms of burnout and its sub-dimensions. The least burned-out were people from positive WHI, positive HWI and mutual positive interaction groups. The most burned-out were people who experienced negative WHI the most often. In this group, predominance of men working more than 10 h per day was observed. The majority of study group (71%) experienced rather integration than segmentation of both spheres. Conclusions: Our results suggest that segmentation is not an universal and effective strategy of coping with work and home demands -it may prevent the positive home-work spillover, which can be buffer or remedy against stress or burnout. We consider cluster analysis the appropriate method in research on relation to work-family balance issue, which may be useful in unraveling relationships between this phenomenon and attitudes and behaviors.
