Purpose:
The study investigates the role of work-family interface dimensions (negative work-to-family interface, NEGWIF; negative family-to-work interface, NEGFIW; positive work-to-family interface, POSWIF; and positive family-to-work interface, POSFIW) as mediators in the relationship between workload and interpersonal strain. In addition, we examined the moderating effect of gender.
Design/Methodology/Approach:
319 Italian employees working in the commercial sector participants completed a self-report questionnaire. The hypothesized models were tested using PROCESS Macro.
Findings:
Work-family interface dimensions totally mediated the relationship between workload and interpersonal strain. Moderating influence of gender was found. Gender moderated the relationship between workload and three work-family interface dimensions-NEGWIF, POSWIF and POSFIW-in the indirect relationship between workload and interpersonal strain.
Research Limitations/Implications:
This study suggests to organizations that moderate workload and family-friendly policies can act as a protective factor against interpersonal strain. The limitations of the study are the use of self-report measures and the cross-sectional design.
Originality/Value:
This research attempted to fill the gap in interpersonal strain and relationships with the work-family interface.
