WORK AND FAMILY ARE THE TWO MAJOR SCENES FOR ADULTS, EXISTING EVER SINCE THE BEGINNING OF MANKIND, BUT HIGHLY ANALYZED IN THE LAST YEARS DUE TO SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGE. THE IMPORTANCE OF STUDYING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FAMILY LIFE AND WORK ISSUES IS DETERMINED BY THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF POOR MANAGING OF THE TWO ROLES ON ONE SIDE FOR THE INDIVIDUAL HUMAN BEING (PHYSIC - SOMATIC, PSYCHIC AND BEHAVIOR MANIFESTATIONS), FOR THE ORGANIZATION ON THE OTHER HAND (ABSENTEEISM, LOW PRODUCTIVITY, HIGH COSTS GENERATED BY ILLNESS, PERSONNEL FLUCTUATION AND TURN-OVER) AND FOR THE SOCIETY AS A WHOLE. PREVIOUS RESEARCH IDENTIFIED A NEGATIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORK-FAMILY CONFLICT AND JOB SATISFACTION (JONES AND BUTLER, 1980; PLECK, STAINES AND GOLD, 1980, KOPLEMAN ET AL. 1983; AHMAD, 1996). IN SOLVING THIS EQUATION BECOMES OBVIOUS THE NEED TO ADDRESS THE CONFLICT BETWEEN WORK AND PERSONAL LIFE IN ORDER TO BALANCE THE TWO. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
