There has been an increasing interest of researchers, workers, and employers to understand the sources of work and family conflict. The present study was conducted in order to clarify some of the findings from past work-family conflict research, to improve on some of the methods and measures previously used, and to examine some relationships that have not yet been explored. Moreover, this study was designed using a social roles perspective, so that the specific roles of work, spouse, and parent could be examined along with two types of inter-role conflict: work-spouse conflict and work-parent conflict. In order to examine the sources of inter-role conflict in terms of time demands, strain demands, and incompatible behavioural expectations, a questionnaire was sent to 1200 female police officers and 1200 female nurses. Additionally, several moderating variables were assessed using this questionnaire: commitment to work, spouse, and parent roles; social support from co-workers, spouse, and friends and family; and self- monitoring ability. Overall, most of the hypotheses were supported. The time and strain demands were directly related to work-spouse and work-parent conflict. Moreover, support was found for a moderating effect of role commitment, although this relationship was only significant for the analyses involving work-spouse conflict. There was also evidence to show that certain incompatible behaviours were associated with increased work-spouse and work-parent conflict, and that this relationship was moderated by self-monitoring ability for the work-spouse conflict analysis involving police officers. Finally, there was no evidence indicating that social support moderated the relationship between the time and strain demands and the two work-family conflict outcomes. Social support did, however, have a strong direct relationship with work-spouse and work-parent conflict. The findings from this study reinforce the need to examine the individual social roles, as well as these two types of inter-role conflict. Finally, several avenues for future research have been identified as a result of this study.
