social-oriented self, and composite self, to explore how individuals
construct the meaning of work and family, and how it in turn affects the
interface between work and family.
We used in-depth qualitative interviews to draw on the rich life
experiences of participants to understand how they make sense of work
and family conflict. We used these narrative accounts to identify the
influence of self view in the construction of the meaning of work and
family, in the experience of work and family conflict, and in the effort
to resolve conflict. Results indicated that people with different views of
self did experience work and family interactions differently. The
meanings of work and family are subjective, and based upon these
personal convictions, people devote different levels of effort and adopt
different strategies to cope with work and family conflict.
