| Summary: | Shifting from Western-dominated perspectives, this study aimed to investigate relationship between religion
and work-family conflict and enrichment. SPSS analysis was conducted on data obtained through two selfreport questionnaires completed three months apart by 296 executives and non-executives from six public and
private sector organizations in Kuching, Sarawak. After controlling for conflict and enrichment at Time 1,
aspects of religion (importance of religion and perception of religiousness) negatively related with workfamily conflict and positively associated with work-family enrichment. The study underscores the roles
religion, which have been neglected in Western studies, as important parts in shaping the work-family
interface in Malaysia. Therefore, organizations should include religious activities to encourage work-life
balance among employees |
