Abstract

The study aims to examine work-family role conflict and its predictive factors among
married working women at the University of Tebessa, using a descriptive analytical approach. Data
was collected through a questionnaire that included a set of scales, administered to a stratified
random sample of 188 married women distributed among: university professors, administrative
staff, library employees, and professional workers.
The results showed no statistically significant differences in the level of work-family role conflict
across occupational categories. However, multiple linear regression analysis revealed that: work
overload, family responsibilities, and long weekly working hours are the most important predictors
of role conflict, collectively explaining 48.30% of the variance in work-family role conflict levels.
Therefore, the study recommends the necessity of adopting policies that support work-family
balance in university institutions by establishing childcare facilities near the workplace and
implementing flexible work schedules to reduce psychological and professional pressure on
married working women.
