Abstract

This study aims to investigate the role of personality factor, locus of control, as a moderator in the relationship between work-family conflict and stress. It is hypothesized that an internal locus of control may diminish the impact of work-family conflict on job stress. The research sample consisted of 110 employees from the Ministry of Cooperative and SMEs. Primary data were collected by distributing questionnaires to selected respondents. The practical implications of this study can provide valuable insights to the leadership at the Ministry of Cooperative and SMEs regarding the impact of work-family conflict on employees' stress levels, thus offering considerations to alleviate this influence.
