| Annotation | Work-family conflict is a specific type of interrole conflict that can occur when the demands of a family role conflict with the demands of an employee role, or vice-versa. Many workers can expect to provide care to an older relative at some point during their tenure in the workforce. The aim of the present study was to explore whether caregiving frequency (providing care on a regular, weekly basis versus intermittently) moderates the relationship between certain workplace characteristics and work-to-family conflict. Utilising a sample of 465 respondents from the National Study of the Changing Workforce (Families and Work Institute, 2008), results from the study indicated that access to workplace flexibility has a stronger effect on reducing work-to-family conflict among intermittent caregivers than among those who provide care regularly.
