摘要
The present study aims to explore the relationship between work demand and work-family conflict, and family demand and family-work conflict. This study also tries to find out the moderating effect of family-friendly policies between the proposed relationships. The data for this study were collected from 217 women employees working in steel manufacturing companies of Jharkhand. The results of the study indicate that there is positive correlation between work demand and work-family conflict, and family demand and family-work conflict. Moreover, family-friendly policies are observed to significantly moderate the relationship of work demand and work-family conflict, but they do not significantly moderate the relationship of family demand and family-work conflict. This article gives insights into understanding the role of family-friendly policies to reduce the work-family conflict among women employees. A few measures are suggested, and employers should adopt such policies to minimize the work-family conflict, which can lead to better work-life balance
