The results showed that life orientation and ambiguity tolerance had significant joint and independent prediction on the work-family conflict of research participants. Further findings showed that there was no significant sex difference in work-family conflict among research participants. Consequently, the discussion and implication of findings, and the recommendations were presented in the paper.
