Time devoted to job and off-job activities, interrole conflict, and affective experiences

Abstract

Employed persons ( N = 120) were surveyed to examine the demands on their time from both work and nonwork activities and the degree of interrole conflict they experienced. Job interference with off-job activities and off-job interference with job commitments were separate but interrelated components of conflict. On-job time was associated with job interference, but off-job time was not linked with off-job interference. Job interference mediated the effect of time demands on satisfaction, organizational commitment, and psychological strain, whereas satisfaction linked interrole conflict and affective experiences.
