This study examines the consequences of both work-to-family conflict (WFC) and family-to-work conflict (FWC) among a sample of managerial and professional women in India. Data were collected from 224 women, working fulltime in diverse organizations using anonymously completed survey questionnaires. The respondents indicated relatively low level of FWC compared to WFC. WFC had a negative correlation with affective commitment and psychological well-being. FWC was found to be negatively correlated with family satisfaction and psychological wellbeing. Interestingly, both WFC and FWC did not show significant impact on job satisfaction.
