Objective of the study determines whether workplace characteristics (supervisory support, co-worker support, schedule control, reward and financial benefit, job autonomy) significantly reduce work-family conflict of females who belong to status-reversal families. Data were collected through standard questionnaire for this quantitative study. 72 females in status-reversal families were selected for the sample under the convenience sampling method from dual-income families in Sri Lanka.
