Abstract

    With Conservation of Resources theory as a framework, this research explores (1) the relationships of work-family conflict with job satisfaction and social networking, and (2) the moderating effects of family business and perceived financial attainment. Results from a sample of 158 Chinese business owners showed that the relationships between work-to-family conflict and the two outcomes were stronger than those of family-to-work conflict. Moreover, family business moderated the relationships of family-to-work conflict linked to job satisfaction and social networking. Further investigation suggests that perceived financial attainment was behind the above moderating effects caused by family business.
