Abstract :
The purpose of the current research was to investigate the relationship of work-family conflict and spillover with psycho-somatic com-plaints by considering the role of work anxiety. The research method was correlational and the sample consisted of 254 employees of an industrial company. Research instruments included Work-Family Conflict Questionnaire (WFCQ), Work-Family Spill-over Questionnaire (WFSQ), Psychosomatic Complaints Questionnaire (PCQ), and Work Anxiety Questionnaire (WAQ), (researcher made). Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling (SEM). Results revealed that there is a positive significant relationship between work-family and family-work conflict with psychosomatic complaints and work anxiety (P<0.01), negative significant relationship between positive family-work spill-over with psychosomatic complaints, and work anxiety (P<0.05). Also, results showed that there is a positive significant relationship between work anxiety and psychosomatic complaints. Results of the structural equation modeling with mediation analysis also showed that work anxiety is a partial mediator in the relationship of family-work conflict with psychosomatic complaints.
