Predictive Factors of Work-Family Role Conflict and Their Impact on Working Married Women at University of Tebessa

Abstract

The study aims to examine work-family role conflict and its predictive factors among married working women at the University of Tebessa, using a descriptive analytical approach. Data was collected through a questionnaire that included a set of scales, administered to a stratified random sample of 188 married women distributed among: university professors, administrative staff, library employees, and professional workers. The results showed no statistically significant differences in the level of work-family role conflict across occupational categories. However, multiple linear regression analysis revealed that: work overload, family responsibilities, and long weekly working hours are the most important predictors of role conflict, collectively explaining 48.30% of the variance in work-family role conflict levels. Therefore, the study recommends the necessity of adopting policies that support work-family balance in university institutions by establishing childcare facilities near the workplace and implementing flexible work schedules to reduce psychological and professional pressure on married working women
