Abstract

In our work environment, work and family pressure are growing quite rapidly among the employees. Work and Family Demand are a known devil in today's life. Employeesare experiencing signs of anxiety and burnout. Especially women employees are facing the challenge of balancing their family and work. The present study examines the causes and consequences of family interference with work among the women employees in the Police Sector. Family role characteristics are measured in terms of family demand, family exhaustion and supervisor. The findings reveal that family demand and family exhaustion and family support significantly influence family interference with work of the respondents. Family Demand is the strongest predictor, followed by Family Exhaustion on family interference with work. Family Demand and Family Exhaustion have recorded higher positive direct effect on the dependent variable, family interference with work. The Family Demand also had higher positive, indirect effect through Family Exhaustion on the dependent variable.
