Abstract
This study aimed to examine the moderating role of self-compassion in
the relationship between work-family conflict and psychological wellbeing. A sample of 300 working men and women was selected from
various telecommunication organizations of Islamabad, Pakistan, using
purposive sampling technique. The age of sample ranged from 23 years
to 56 years (M = 32.66, SD = 5.24). Work-Family Conflict Scale
(Carlson, Kacmar, & Williams, 2000), Psychological Well-Being
subscale of Mental Health Inventory (Veit & Ware, 1983), and SelfCompassion Scale (Neff, 2003) were used and results revealed that workfamily conflict is a significant negative predictor of psychological wellbeing. Moreover, self-compassion was found to buffer the negative
impact of work-family conflict on psychological well-being. The
importance of incorporating self-compassion as a successful intervention
for managing the impact of work-family conflict has been discussed
