WFC, work-family conflict; FWC, family work conflict. The group with low WFC comprised participants with a value of WFC below the median of 19, while the group with high WFC comprised those with a value of WFC above this level. Participants (n = 10) with WFC = 19 were excluded from the analyses. p is two-tailed. Results are based on 1000 bootstrap samples (BCa CIs are not shown).
