Scale Results
There are time management difficulties and time occupied by workhas a negative interference on the family;
Family life has a professional life positive interference;
Workers involvement is based on a socio-emocional relationship. They consider that they receive respect, personal and professional development opportunities and self-realization;
There are as many workers thrilled and comfortable with their work, as others where this doesn’t happen;
Scale Results
The relational psychological contract has a positive influence on the work-family conflict. Workers whose organizational relationship is based on socio-emotional resources felt more conciliation difficulties, particularly, more conflicts between work and family, in terms of time and strain;
Work-family conflict has a negative influence on the workers’ well-being.
