Abstract: The current work-family conflict literature is characterized by limitations in focus and methodology,
particularly with a failure to link work-family conflict with work-family policies. This study compares the influence
of work-related factors and work-family related factors on work-family conflict in two directions. A local
government organization in New Zealand was the setting. Findings show that work factors account for a
significant component of both work-to-family and family-to-work conflict, although this is far greater on workfamily conflict. Work-family practice use had little influence on work-family conflict, but was significantly related
with family-work conflict. Past use and future use of work-family practices was found to positively associate with
family-work conflict. Overall, the findings suggest managers in search of reducing employee conflict should
focus directly upon work factors such as workload, rather than seek to use work-family practices as the primary
way to reduce conflict. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
