“…Time-based work–family conflict occurs when time spent on the work domain reduces the time devoted to the family domain (Greenhaus and Beutell, 1985). The temporary work environment in delivering project goals and objectives creates a dynamic situation, where additional pressure is imposed on the employees from fluctuating workloads, uncertain requirements, and multiple role demands (Dodanwala et al. , 2022; Turner et al.…”

“…Besides, the construction industry in Sri Lanka is one of the most stressful industries in the country (Dodanwala et al. , 2021, 2022; Dodanwala and Santoso, 2022). This can cause adverse psychological and physiological impacts on the construction industry employees (Dodanwala et al.…”

“…It appears that the previous research primarily considered both role overload and work–family conflict as stressors in the relationship to stress without considering the possible inter-relationship between the two stressors (Calisir et al. , 2011; Dodanwala et al. , 2022; Firth et al.…”

“…, 2011; Robbins and Judge, 2019). In addition, job stress is linked with elevated turnover, reduced performance, and low organizational commitment, which is detrimental to construction organizations (Dodanwala et al. , 2022; Dodanwala and Santoso, 2022; Halkos and Bousinakis, 2010; Robbins and Judge, 2019).…”

PurposeThe present study first explored the different dimensions of work–family conflict and job stress. It then evaluated the mediating role of time and strain-based work–family conflict on the relationship between role overload and psychological stress and role overload and physiological stress.Design/methodology/approachThe study utilized a quantitative data collection approach through a questionnaire design. With the aid of the questionnaire, 308 samples were collected from the project-level staff of ten construction organizations in Sri Lanka. The collected data were analyzed using a structural equation modeling approach to address the research hypotheses.FindingsResults supported the mediating role of work–family conflict on the relationship between role overload and job stress. Specifically, the time and strain-based work–family conflict combined partially mediated the effect of role overload on psychological stress. While strain-based work–family conflict fully mediated the effect of role overload on physiological stress. Hence, the organizations that seek employee well-being should focus on developing a conducive working environment with a focus on a reasonable workload for everyone. Besides, the management should give special consideration to working hours as it affects both the employees' stress levels and family life.Originality/valueThis study added the mediating role of time and strain-based work–family conflict to the previous empirical research on the relationship between role overload and job stress dimensions. Besides, this study discusses the different dimensions of work–family conflict and job stress, which is a less explored area in the construction literature.
