This study evaluated a conceptual model that specified relationships between work and family demands, work‐family conflict, stress, and the quality offamily life. Usinga sample of 328female and 187 male working parents, path analysis indicated that the intersect of structural and psychological characteristics of work andfamily was related to work‐family conflict, influenced stress, and eventually predicted the quality offamily life. Also, as expected, the linkages between work andfamily variedfor mothers and fathers.
