The relationship of work-family conflict with overall health, workplace cognitive failure, and marital satisfaction: The moderating role of sleep quality and work-family conflict self-efficacy

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of work-family conflict (WFC) with overall health، workplace cognitive failure and marital satisfaction، considering the moderating role of sleep quality and work-family conflict self-efficacy. Participants include 234 employees of the Aghajari Oil and Gas Production Company (AOGPC) who were selected by a stratified random sampling method. These participants completed the Work-Family Conflict Questionnaire، Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index، Work-Family Conflict Self-Efficacy Questionnaire، Short form of Health Survey Questionnaire، Workplace Cognitive Failure Questionnaire، and the Marital Satisfaction Scale. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses. Findings indicated that WFC was negatively related to the overall health and marital satisfaction and was positively related to workplace cognitive failure. Results also revealed that sleep quality and work-family conflict self-efficacy moderated the relationship of work-family conflict with overall health، workplace cognitive failure and marital satisfaction. WFC has been an important area of research in organizational behavior. However، there has been an absence of investigations examining the moderating role of sleep quality and work-family conflict self-efficacy. This study showed that sleep quality and work-family conflict self-efficacy provide employees with the resources needed for lower WFC. Therefore، from a practical point of view، the organizations need to find the necessity of designing effective intervention strategies targeted at improving sleep quality and work-family conflict self-efficacy with the aim of reducing WFC.
