Abstract
Over the years several researchers have attempted to establish the link between the dimensions of work family conflict and other variables across cultures and work categories. This study focuses on the formal workers in Ghana and the strength of association or significance between and among some demographic variables. Cluster, convenience and snowball techniques of sampling were adopted for the study which employed the questionnaire approach using 207 respondents from private and public organisations in the Ghanaian formal sector of the economy. For family-to-work conflict, no significant difference was found between male and female formal workers who are married; managers experience more of work-to-family conflict than non-managers; generally, formal workers who are single experience more work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict than those who are married.
