Notes

Abstract:
This study evaluated the role that personality traits and styles of coping play on the perception of anticipated work-family conflict (WFC) in undergraduate students. The Anticipated Work-Family Conflict scale, Coping Style scale, and NEO Five Factor Inventory were administered in order to measure the participants’ WFC perception, coping style preference, and personality traits. A multiple regression analysis revealed that neuroticism was the greatest contributor in predicting anticipated WFC perception in undergraduate students. However, none of the coping styles significantly predicted WFC. These findings suggest that personality traits may play a significantly larger role than coping techniques in regards to how college students perceive anticipated WFC.
