“…The stress-affected working family members need interventions to address their problems. This finding of the present Brunei study contradicts the outcomes of an investigation conducted by Jamadin et al (2015) in Malaysia, a country whose culture (language and religion) are similar to Brunei's. In their study, Jamadin et al (2015) found that people who were single and lived alone were prone to work-related stress compared to employees who were married.…”

“…This finding of the present Brunei study contradicts the outcomes of an investigation conducted by Jamadin et al (2015) in Malaysia, a country whose culture (language and religion) are similar to Brunei's. In their study, Jamadin et al (2015) found that people who were single and lived alone were prone to work-related stress compared to employees who were married. This was probably because married employees received help from and shared their responsibilities with spouses, whereas unmarried employees faced all problems and responsibilities by themselves (Jamadin et al, 2015).…”

“…However, besides the stressful demands of any job, there was indirect evidence from recent studies that the responsibility and pressure to support the family were partly elements of work-related stress (Author et al, 2016a(Author et al, , 2016b(Author et al, , 2017. In addition, research has also linked family conflicts to work-related stress (Jamadin et al, 2015). Jex (2002) defined a stressor as an aspect of the environment that requires some adaptive behavior from the individual.…”

The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of stress in work situations for 860 randomly selected Brunei public and private sector employees of both genders. A quantitative field survey was used to probe the problem. This strategy's main difference and advantage compared to postal, telephone and online survey procedures was that it enabled an immediate collection of data onsite. Work-related stress was prevalent in Brunei public and private sector employees. Employees with low and middle level education were the most affected by work stress. In addition, workers who lived with parents and the chief income earners in the households were also distressed. Incorporation of an interview component would have helped in triangulation and interpretation of the survey findings. Prolonged and untreated work-related stress poses a high likelihood risk of lowering the quantity and quality of productivity in any work environment. Appropriate individual and group interventions (educational, counseling and psychotherapy) for vulnerable employees at risk of developing work-related stress problems were recommended. In addition, further research with interview probes was also desired to address the problem. To promote holistic employee mental health well-being, the labor force needs to operate in none-stressful work-places and live in stress-free contexts.

Hasil ini mendukung hasil penelitian sebelumnya yang dilakukan oleh Jamadin et al (2014) menemukan bahwa konflik-pekerjaan keluarga berpengaruh positif terhadap terjadinya stres kerja. Menurut Khamisa et al (2015) konflik kerja dan konflik keluarga secara bersamaan dapat menganggu atau mempengaruhi secara positif stres kerja.…”

Dari perspektif Job demand -control Model penelitian ini mengukur stres kerja yang dialami karyawan, dalam hubungan antara konflik yang dialami antara pekerjaan dan keluarga dengan kepuasan kerja yang dibahas dari perspektif Two Factors Theory. Data dikumpulkan dari karyawan perusahaan yang berjumlah 39 orang untuk pengujian hipotesis. Temuan penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa persepsi konflik pekerjaan -keluarga berkorelasi dengan stres kerja dan kepuasan kerja. Stres kerja menjadi mediator hubungan antara persepsi konflik pekerjaan dengan keluarga dengan kepuasan kerja.

“…In spite of this trend, extant literature pertaining to work-family conflict indicate more focus on those employed (see Jamadin et al, 2015;Kelly, Moen, & Tranby, 2011;Qu & Zhao, 2012), rather than on entrepreneurs (Kuschel, 2014;Shelton, Danes, & Eisenman, 2008), particularly entrepreneurs' role stress (Ahmad & Xavier, 2010;Khairuddin, 2015;Wincent & Ӧrtqvist, 2009). There is an obvious need to investigate such conflicts among entrepreneurs to enable the establishment of accurate work-family balance strategies based on actual findings.…”

Modern day entrepreneurs who operate in today's highly volatile socioeconomic circumstances are undeniably encumbered with a host of role stressors that affect their businesses and personal lives, namely role overload, role ambiguity and role conflict. Coupled with work schedule flexibility, these role stressors have a bearing on work-family conflict and are the focus of this study. Employing self-administered questionnaires via purposive sampling, data were collected from Malaysian entrepreneurs, married with at least one child. Results derived utilising the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach suggest that role conflict and role overload positively affect work-family conflict. However, role ambiguity and work schedule flexibility indicate insignificant effect on work-family conflict. Given a multitude of challenges faced by entrepreneurs in this context, an understanding of the findings can bring to light some insights on how work-family balance can be achieved to boost the development of Malaysian entrepreneurs.
