Abstract
The main aim of this study is to investigate the moderating role of marital satisfaction in explaining the relationship between perfectionism and both dimensions of work-family conflict (i.e. family-to-work and work-to-family). The study also examines gender differences regarding both dimensions of work-family conflict. The study included 132 married participants (57 female, 75 male). In order to collect data from the participants demographic information form, Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, Relationship Stability Scale and Work-Family Conflict Scale were used. The results of the t-test analysis for independent samples have revealed a significant gender difference indicating that men experience higher levels of family-to-work conflict. As a result of the hierarchical regression analyses, marital satisfaction was found to have a moderating role in explaining the relationship between perfectionism and both dimensions of workfamily conflict. It was found that compared to perfectionism, marital satisfaction is more related to work-family conflict in marriage.
