Past work-nonwork conflict literature has failed to consider the values of an individual as an important aspect of work-nonwork conflict. This research proposes that work-nonwork issues should be redefined using a value/situation perspective. In essence, this perspective allows work-nonwork conflict to be viewed as a product of the incongruence between the situation in which an individual finds himself or herself and the values he or she holds. To better examine this incongruence, the concept of work-nonwork conflict is broken into two separate elements: work interference with nonwork conflict and nonwork interference with work conflict. These two variables are thought to have a bi-directional relationship as well as, both a direct and indirect impact on the outcome variables of interest. All of these relationships were combined into a model of work-nonwork conflict that was tested in its entirety using LISREL. / The results, based on a sample 510 full-time workers from a variety of organizations, suggested that values and situational factors directly influence the degree of conflict an individual experiences. However, the hypothesized interaction of the situation and values was not supported. The results do support the findings of a reciprocal relationship between the two types of conflict as well as an indirect relationship between the conflict variables and the life satisfaction variables through the domain satisfaction variables. / How this research both replicates and extends past findings is discussed in the conclusion. In addition, the practical implications from this research are discussed. Finally, implications for future research are considered. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 56-02, Section: A, page: 0621. / Major Professor: K.
