Previous studies have suggested variable levels of associations between work-family conflict (W_F_C) and its antecedents in different populations. We aimed to assess the antecedents of this conflict and its two types; work-to-family (WFC) and family-to-work (FWC) among Egyptian civil workers.
In a convenience sample of 3134 Egyptian civil workers, we assessed the W_F_C using the National Study of Midlife Development in the US and attributed it, by logistic and linear regression analyses, to several sociodemographic, work/family situational, behavioral, and health-related variables which were collected by a questionnaire survey between October 2019 and January 2020.
W_F_C was prevalent in 56% of the sample (51% for WFC and 62% for FWC). The work and family situational factors were the most significant antecedents of the W_F_C and its two types; partial was 0.71. Both the health-related and behavioral clusters of antecedents were also predictors of W_F_C, while the sociodemographic antecedents contributed minimally to the FWC. The multivariable odds ratios (95% CIs) for high W_F_C in those with high vs low work demands, job control, social support at work, and family were 4.11 (2.89-7.03), 0.0 (0.66-0.90), 0.86 (0.62-0.98), and 0.74 (0.59-0.94), respectively.
Work and family situational factors were the most significant antecedents of the levels of W_F_C in Egyptian civil workers. The Egyptian authorities could reduce the civil workers' W_F_C by improving the work environment, finding ways to relieve the workload demands, and helping the civil workers to have more job control and social support.
以往研究表明，工作-家庭冲突（W_F_C）及其在不同人群中的前因存在不同程度的关联。我们旨在评估埃及文职人员中这种冲突及其两种类型（工作对家庭冲突（WFC）和家庭对工作冲突（FWC））的前因。
在3134名埃及文职人员的便利样本中，我们使用美国中年发展全国性研究来评估W_F_C，并通过逻辑回归和线性回归分析，将其归因于2019年10月至2020年1月间通过问卷调查收集的几个社会人口统计学、工作/家庭状况、行为和健康相关变量。
56%的样本存在W_F_C（WFC为51%，FWC为62%）。工作和家庭状况因素是W_F_C及其两种类型的最显著前因；偏相关系数为0.71。前因中的健康相关和行为类别也是W_F_C的预测因素，而社会人口统计学前因对FWC的影响最小。工作需求高与低、工作控制、工作中的社会支持以及家庭支持高与低的人群中，高W_F_C的多变量优势比（95%置信区间）分别为4.11（2.89 - 7.03）、0.0（0.66 - 0.90）、0.86（0.62 - 0.98）和0.74（0.59 - 0.94）。
工作和家庭状况因素是埃及文职人员W_F_C水平的最显著前因。埃及当局可通过改善工作环境、设法减轻工作量需求以及帮助文职人员获得更多工作控制权和社会支持来降低文职人员的W_F_C。
