WFC, work-family conflict; FWC, family work conflict. The group with a low FWC comprised participants with a value of FWC below the median of 11, while the group with a high FWC comprised those with a value of FWC above this level. Participants (n = 14) with FWC = 11 were excluded from the analyses. p is two-tailed. Results are based on 1000 bootstrap samples (BCa CIs are not shown).
