ABSTRACT
Background: This paper presents the results of the study concerning mutual relations between work–family conflict and family–
work conflict in the context of age and sex. Material and Methods: The study included 223 subjects (115 women, 108 men,
74 mothers and 61 fathers), aged 21–63. The Work–Family and Family–Work Conflicts Questionnaire and socio-demographic
questionnaire were used as the survey tools. To verify hypotheses the correlation analysis and the Mann-Whitney U-test were
used. Results: It has been found that a stronger work–family conflict is experienced by the examined men and fathers and a stronger
family–work conflict is observed among parents. The results of the statistical analysis showed that there is a significant relationship
between the number of working hours per day and work–family conflict and family–work conflict. Work–family conflict
among mothers is significantly correlated with the income. The family–work conflict is stronger in the middle adulthood
group. Conclusions: There is a significant relationship between sex and age and work–family conflict and family–work conflict.
