Abstract:
The question of how one’s values influence work-family conflict is a recent area of inquiry. This study
had two aims: to explore whether the values of materialism and postmaterialism were associated with
work-family conflict; and to assess the relationship between the two values themselves. A total of 217
working adults were surveyed regarding their values and perceived role conflict. Materialism was
positively associated with both directions of work-family conflict, but no relationship was seen with
postmaterialism. The interaction between materialism and postmaterialism was not significant. The
findings demonstrate the importance of considering values in the context of work-family conflict.
