Abstract: The work–family conflict theory posits that due to limited time and energy, individuals inevitably experience work–family role conflict, resulting in increased role strain. Conversely, the work–family enrichment theory suggests that multiple role involvement in work and family can lead to positive effects on well‐being through a virtuous cycle, known as a positive spillover effect. The theoretical review integrates work–family research with stress theory, focusing on coping behaviors and proposing a new theoretical framework. The conceptual model highlights individuals' diverse coping efforts to alleviate role strain and suggests that these strategies can result in various outcomes, including both work–family conflict and enrichment.
