Abstract
This study aimed to examine the moderating role of self-compassion in the relationship between work-family conflict and psychological wellbeing. A sample of 300 working men and women was selected from various telecommunication organizations of Islamabad, Pakistan, using purposive sampling technique. The age of sample ranged from 23 years to 56 years (M = 32.66, SD = 5.24). Work-Family Conflict Scale (Carlson, Kacmar, & Williams, 2000), Psychological Well-Being subscale of Mental Health Inventory (Veit & Ware, 1983), and Self-Compassion Scale (Neff, 2003) were used and results revealed that work-family conflict is a significant negative predictor of psychological wellbeing. Moreover, self-compassion was found to buffer the negative impact of work-family conflict on psychological well-being. The importance of incorporating self-compassion as a successful intervention for managing the impact of work-family conflict has been discussed.
