Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to advance the understanding of both directions of work‐family conflict (WFC), work interference with family (WIF) and family interference with work (FIW) in an Eastern culture. Findings are compared with those of 14 other Western studies and the relationships among WIF, FIW and job, family, community and life satisfaction are explored.Design/methodology/approach – This study is conducted in Malaysia, a country with Islam as the official religion. Data are obtained from 506 employees in three public and three private sector organizations. Questionnaires are distributed via human resource managers.Findings – Results show that similar to Western studies, WIF scores are higher than FIW scores. Malaysians are significantly lower on WIF than Westerners. Nevertheless, Malaysians score significantly higher on FIW than all Western samples. Within the Malaysian sample, FIW also has a stronger negative relationship with all facets of satisfaction and WIF has a positive relatio...

Work-life enrichment describes how positive experiences in work and non-work (home) lives interact to produce gains in satisfaction, health and performance. In this chapter we discuss the antecedents of work-life enrichment, including social support, a supportive workplace culture and family-friendly human resource policies. The chapter also discusses the consequences of work-life enrichment, including increased job satisfaction, commitment, work engagement, work performance, individual health and family satisfaction. We briefly review the key moderators and mediators of work-life enrichment and provide two examples of effective work-life enrichment research from within the Asia-Pacific region. Finally, we discuss future research directions of work-life enrichment, including the necessity to better assess the impact of both organisational policies and individual coping mechanisms upon levels of work-life enrichment.

Currently, work-family interface (WFI) research is primarily based on data from Anglo samples within Western developed countries. Little is known about WFI in Eastern developing countries. This raises the question of how well the Western model of WFI could be generalized to other cultures. Therefore this research study aims to highlight the work-family interface model in Malaysia, a predominantly collectivist society with Islam as the official religion. Resources and demands from the work and family domains and from the community domain are investigated. Similar to Western findings, resources were significantly and positively related to work-family enrichment, while demands were significantly and positively related to work-family conflict. However, in contrast to Western results, resources and demands from community domains made a more significant contribution to work-family conflict and enrichment as compared to resources and demands from the work and family domains. Cultural dimension namely, polychronic time orientation, traditional gender role ideology, and religion can explain these observed differences. These findings suggest that some aspects of Western-based WFI models can be applied to Malaysia. However, the study demonstrates that the role of community and religion, which are neglected within Western WFI research, are important in determining work-family interface in Malaysia. Thus, it may be concluded that in order to have a better understanding of work-family interface in a society which is predominantly collectivist and has strong cultural beliefs and values, aspects of community and religion must be integrated.
