Previous WFC research offered mixed (significant and non-significant) findings on relationships involving control at work, problem-focused coping, and SGP. Inconsistent results in the past may be due to confounded measures, and the focus on main effects has failed to model likely interactions between variables. Using a sample of 223 participants from diverse job settings, this study investigated the potential interaction between control at work and use of SGP on WLC. This study also explored whether SGP moderates the extent that WIL mediates the positive relationship between control at work and employee life satisfaction, such that the mediated relationship will be more positive among employees who use SGP. Established measures were used: Control at work scale, SGP, Satisfaction with Life Scale, WIL and LIW. Results supported these hypotheses and were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression. Implications regarding the interplay of employer and employee behaviours and actions were discussed.
