Work family guilt is feeling on inadequacy and self-blame that arises when individual perceive that they are not giving enough time and attention to their work and family responsibilities. Work family conflict arises when work responsibilities interfere with family obligation or vice versa creating strain. Frequently, working women struggle to balance their work and family responsibilities, resulting in work-family conflict. Working women often experience work-family guilt, or the sensation of neglecting one domain while focusing on the other. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between work-family guilt and work-family conflict among working women. A total sample of 40 working women in the age 28-35 was collected. Standardized scales were used to measure Work Family Guilt and Work Family Conflict. The results found out that family-interference with work guilt is significantly positively related to work to family conflict and family interference with work guilt also came to be significantly positively correlated to family to work conflict. Family-friendly policies such as parental leave and affordable childcare can assist in reducing the burden on working women and fostering a healthy work-life balance.
