Authors: Vandana Sharma, Vidhu Vats, Hemlata Vats.


Abstract:
This study investigates the relationship between work-family conflict (WFC) and job performance (JP), particularly in the context of the post-COVID-19 scenario. It highlights that previous research often overlooked the role of gender differences and other relevant factors in this dynamic interaction. The study was conducted with 154 IT industry workers in Delhi-NCR, using a five-point Likert scale to measure WFC and JP. The WFC was measured using the Carlson, Kacmar, and Williams (CKW) (2000) scale, and the JP was evaluated using the Janssen and Van Yperen (2004) scale. The data were analysed using IBM SPSS Statistical software package, version 26.0. Unlike previous studies that primarily focused on the repercussions of WFC on JP, this research considers specific factors and gender variations, providing a more comprehensive understanding of this relationship in the post-COVID era. Thus, it fills a significant gap in existing research.
