TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - A two wave cross-lagged study of work-role conflict, work-family conflict and emotional exhaustion JO - Scandinavian journal of psychology A1 - Jensen, Maria Therese SP - 591 EP - 600 VL - 57 IS - 6 N2 - By using a two-wave panel design, the present study aimed to study causal, reversed, and reciprocal relations among work-role conflict, work-family conflict, and emotional exhaustion. The Conservation of Resources theory was applied as a theoretical framework. The study was conducted in a large Norwegian oil and gas company (n = 1703). The results demonstrated positive cross-lagged effects of work-role conflict and work-family conflict on emotional exhaustion. In addition, emotional exhaustion predicted work-family conflict over time, and work-family conflict predicted work-role conflict over time, indicating the presence of reciprocal effects. The current study adds new knowledge to the positioning of work-family conflict in relation to perceived conflict in the workplace and emotional exhaustion.
