Abstract
OBJECTIVES
Work-family conflict can arise from two opposite directions: the experiences at work interfere with family life and the experiences in the family interfere with work life. This study explored the effects of the presence of two income sources on the association between work-family conflict and job attitude.
METHODS
Responses to structured survey questionnaires were received from 236 two-income families living in the Seoul Metropolitan Area.
RESULTS
A differential effect was observed between single-income families and two-income families. Higher job satisfaction was related with lower work interference with family (WIF) among single-income families and with lower family interference with work (FIW) among two-income families.
CONCLUSIONS
Employee welfare programs need to be expanded to enhance job satisfaction for the increasing number of two-income families.
