Work-Family Conflict in Nursing: The Role of Work Schedules, Familial Antecedents and Emotional Regulation

Abstract

This paper explores the influences of Emotional Regulation (ER) and work schedules on work-family conflict (WFC) among Italian nurses, also accounting for some familial variables. The data used in this study come from a survey conducted on 191 nurses working in two public hospitals of Tuscany (Italy). Stepwise multiple regressions were applied to examine the relationships among these variables, using the WFC as dependent variable. We found that some work related dimensions had direct effects on WFC outcomes; however, these impacts on the criterion variables are modified by the effects exerted by specific ER strategies.
