Work-to-family conflict occurs when work obligations interfere with family responsibilities or events, such as missing a child's birthday due to a meeting that runs longer than expected. Role overload refers to having too many responsibilities or tasks to handle effectively, while family-to-work conflict occurs when family responsibilities interfere with work obligations. Time-based conflict refers to conflicts between the time demands of work and family, but does not specifically refer to missing a child's birthday.
