SummaryMembers of the owning family of a small family ®rm are reputed to experience special problems, most notably speci®c types of con¯icts and outcomes associated with them. This analysis uncovered more advantages than disadvantages, however, when family members were compared to non-family members of the same ®rms and to members of similar non-family-owned businesses. Previous literature had not used comparison groups and may have been based upon a subset of family businesses that diers systematically from family ®rms in general and from this study's sample speci®cally.

“…A study on Japanese professional females showed husbands' support can not play as a cushion between "demand as parents" and WFC (Matsui, T. et al, 1995). However, other study indicated spouse's support has a buffering role (Suchet, M., & Barling, J., 1986). …”

With the increase in the proportion of dual-earner families and work stress, there are increasing emphases placed on the study of work-family conflict (WFC). The paper reviews that antecedents of WFC from aspects of individual, work and family. Findings and implications include the effects of individual factors like demographic and personality variables, the influences of work variables like work stress, family friendly programs and impacts of family variables like family demands and spousal interactions. In addition, we propose that more efforts should be put into theoretical development, integrative studies, individual and family variables in the future.Keywords: Work-family conflict, Antecedents, Workaholism, Personality, Family friendly programs Work and family are defined as two main fields in which modern people live. They satisfy human's various demands and also the sources of people's happiness simultaneously. In recent decades, owing to rising proportion of dual-earner families, increasing work stress and growing emphasis on quality of life, much more attentions have been paid to work-family conflict (WFC). Work-family conflict (WFC) referring to the roles conflict is generated when the stress from work and family can't be coordinated in some aspects (Greenhaus, J. H. & Beutell, N.J, 1985). Greenhaus and Beutell (1985) classified WFC into three types, i.e. conflict based on time, conflict based on stress and conflict based on behavior. Gutek et al has found out that all types of WFC are bidirectional, including work-to-family conflict, work interference with family (WIF) and family-to-work conflict, and family interference with work (FIW). So, six dimensions are formed correspondingly (Gutek, B. A. et al, 1991). According to the researches, WFC widely influences health (bibulosity, depression), work (work satisfaction, vocation ambition) and family (family happiness) (Eby, L. T. et al, 2005). Thus, scholars all along have made efforts to seek all various influential factors on WFC, and have achieved some research findings. Reviewing and summarizing the achieved literatures can not only help us to make the future research direction in the field definitely, but also establish basis for organizations and individuals to cope with WFC effectively and to balance work and family practically.The main purpose of the current study is to elaborate the influential factors of WFC from three levels, i.e. individual, work and family. Furthermore, future research direction also proposed through analyzing the shortage of existing researches.

“…Career support has been found to be important in reducing depression and work-to-family conflict for samples of working women (e.g., Suchet and Barling, 1986;Beatty, 1996). This type of support has not been examined widely in the stress literature and will be examined for both men and women practicing law.…”

Job Stress, Depression and Work-to-Family Conflict

In this paper, the Job Demand-Control (JDC) model is used to predict depression and work-to-family conflict for married lawyers working full-time. The objectives of this paper are: (1) to determine whether the JDC model applies to work-to-family conflict; (2) to incorporate domain-specific job demand and job control variables; and (3) to examine a wider array of different forms of social support. First, the JDC model also helps explain work-to-family conflict. Second, domain-specificity does not appear key to documenting the buffering effects for job control. Third, spouse’s support of one’s career has the strongest main effect on both depression and work-to-family conflict, whereas coworker support functions as a moderator of lawyers’ job demands and has both buffering and amplifying effects. This paper closes by discussing the possible conditions under which members of support systems may transfer or exacerbate stress effects rather than alleviate them.
