Abstract:
Busy schedules in this contemporary world widen the boundaries between family life and work
life, which created Work Family Conflict and has become a prevalent issue among individuals.
Even though there are considerable amount of studies conducted on this area, there remain few
empirical and theoretical findings on extending the Job Demands- Resource theory in to work
family domain, especially in the Asian context. Further, this concept paper propose the
mediation effect of emotional exhaustion on the relation between job demands and job
resources on work family conflict and propose the moderation effect of job demands and job
resources. A conceptual model is proposed at the end of the paper that enables the future
researchers to test empirically in different environments. The significance of this paper is, it
proposes the mediating effect of emotional exhaustion, which has not been examined to explain
the relationship between job demands and job resources with work family conflict in the
previous research studies while advising managers to find what factors make employees less
exhausted and enjoy their work that reduce work family conflict
