Abstract

The study investigated the moderating role of psychological capital on the relationship between work-family conflict and burnout among 268 artisans in Anambra State, Nigeria. The participants completed the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), the Psychological Capital Scale (PSC), and the Work-Family Conflict scale (WFCS). The design of the study was cross-sectional. Two hypotheses were tested. A Moderated Hierarchical Multiple Regression was utilized to analyze the data. The results revealed that work-family conflict significantly predicted emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization but failed to predict lack of personal accomplishment. The two-way interaction terms between work-family conflict and psychological capital failed to moderate emotional exhaustion and lack of personal accomplishment. However, the interaction terms of work-family conflict and psychological capital moderated depersonalization. We suggested that workshops on interventions be held biannually, and participation of artisans should be voluntary. However, we recommended that the family-work conflict and other measures of burnout be considered in future studies.
