Work-to-Family Conflict (WFC) is a phenomenon experienced by almost every employee and the worldwide, even at the top level. The detrimental effects of WFC on professional and personal life have been the focus of research for quite some time. Many relevant variables that affect this relationship have also been studied by scholars. Mental health is a growing concern in the new day society, and life satisfaction is amongst the pointers of the worth of life and is important to understand what makes a person happy and content with their life. Our research is based on how the provision of family support in accordance with the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory during WFC, while affecting mental health and life satisfaction of employees, moderates the relationship between our independent variable of WFC, and dependent variables of mental health and life satisfaction, and that too in an eastern context (i.e., Pakistan). Quantitative survey technique has been used in the research, and data from simple random sample was collected in cross-section (N=220). Pearson correlation was calculated between predictors and the outcome variables. Moderated regression analysis was carried out to test the hypotheses. The additional variance of each outcome was also observed. The results revealed that WFC negatively affects the mental health and life satisfaction of employees, and the provision of family support moderates the relationship between WFC, and mental health but is otherwise in the case of life satisfaction. This research provides a new perspective for managers to look after their employees, which is essential to achieve optimal performance from juniors in today’s environment.
