Abstract(s)

The work-family (WFC) and family-work (FWC) conflicts together with the guilt arising thereof have a negative effect on well-being, professional, social and family health variables. The literature points to a higher incidence of the values of these variables in females and individuals with children, but these results vary culturally. Given the importance of these variables in occupational and safety health and the few studies with Portuguese samples, we choose to develop a descriptive and correlational study aimed to explore the relationship of WFC -FWC with the feeling of guilt and the relationship with outcomes variables such as life satisfaction and work passion according to the gender and the presence of children. Our results show higher values in the WFC and work-family guilt, in particular in men and individuals with children, as well as a correlation with the obsessive passion and a negative correlation with life satisfaction.
