It cannot be denied that, the increased number of women in the labour force particularly among married women, have also increased the issues of work-family conflict. This is due to the fact that regardless of their position and responsibilities at workplace, women remain as the main player to manage the household affairs. Work-family conflict due to both home and workplace responsibilities can hinder them from making progress in their career. In this regard, support from husband and superior as well as co-workers seems to be a vital element in order to reduce their work-family conflict.
