Work role characteristics that are associated with work demands refer to pressure arising from excessive workload and time pressures.

There are three factors that researchers focus which are role overload, management support and also gender role orientation. The results of the study implied that work-family conflict as an important concern for individuals and organizations because of its negative consequences leading to reduced job performance as well as family satisfaction and hence reduced life satisfaction.
