Year: 2017
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Shifting from Western-dominated perspectives, this study aimed to investigate relationship between religion \nand work-family conflict and enrichment. SPSS analysis was conducted on data obtained through two selfreport questionnaires completed three months apart by 296 executives and non-executives from six public and \nprivate sector organizations in Kuching, Sarawak. After controlling for conflict and enrichment at Time 1, \naspects of religion (importance of religion and perception of religiousness) negatively related with workfamily conflict and positively associated with work-family enrichment. The study underscores the roles \nreligion, which have been neglected in Western studies, as important parts in shaping the work-family \ninterface in Malaysia. Therefore, organizations should include religious activities to encourage work-life \nbalance among employees
