Abstract

Although work–family conflict has been extensively studied over the years, research in this area continues to focus predominantly on its consequences. Incompatibility between work and family roles often leads to conflict, resulting in negative outcomes both in the workplace and within the home environment. This study examines the effects of work-family conflict on children from dual-earner households. The primary objective of this study is to comprehend the impact of work-family conflict on the offspring of dual-earners. A qualitative study design was utilised, employing thematic analysis of data gathered from ten dual-earners via semi-structured face-to-face interviews. The result identified multiple causes and effects of work-family conflict that directly affect children. These findings underscore the importance of comprehending how dual-earner interactions affect child well-being. The knowledge acquired from this study is significant and beneficial for subsequent research and practice. To properly tackle this issue, it is imperative to implement complete coping mechanisms. This study shows that researchers and policymakers should pay more attention to how work-family conflict affects children in unique ways.
