When family role demands are incompatible with or conflict with the stresses from the work role, _______ occurs.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interrole conflict is when the demands or expectations of different roles a person has (such as work and family) are incompatible or conflict with each other. Work/family conflict specifically refers to the conflict between work demands and family demands, while employment conflict and work-at-home conflict are not as general and specific as interrole conflict. Therefore, interrole conflict is the most appropriate answer.
