Abstract

To enhance the understanding of leadership influences on employee work–family conflict, this study focused on traditional Chinese leadership (i.e., authoritarian leadership). The present study investigates the impact of authoritarian leadership on employee work–to–family conflict (WFC) by focusing on the mediating role of job overload. The results from a survey of 133 working adults in China provide support for the hypotheses, indicating that authoritarian leadership is positively related to WFC; this relationship is also partially mediated by job overload. The theoretical and managerial implications of these findings are discussed.
