Abstract
Conflict between work and family domains is a result of conflicts between the role requirements of various roles employees assume. The aim of this study is to determine the work-family and work conflicts of seafarers. A questionnaire containing work-family conflict scale was used for data collection. The research sample is composed of 259 seafarers. According to the findings, work responsibilities of respondents cause frequent changes in their plans regarding family activities while family life has little effect on their working lives. The findings reveal that age, marital status, level of education, experience and ship class is significantly correlated with work-family and family-work conflicts. Gender, task and university diploma, however, is not significantly correlated with work-family and family-work conflicts. When tenure in the same company and conflict scale results are examined, no significant relationship between tenure and work-family conflict could be found while a significant relationship was found for family-work conflict.
