In the last three decades, work-life scholars have devoted significant effort to understand individuals’ work-life experiences, particularly work-life conflict. However, recent literature has found that prior findings on work-life conflict tend to be inconsistent when cultural values are considered. Cultural values influence the meaning and enactment of work and non-work roles, and consequently, the nature and strength of individuals’ work-life experiences. In other words, work- and non-work-related values in a particular culture are likely to lead to some unique occurrences (i.e. only existing in that culture) of work-life conflict, and the strengths of the relationships vary between unique and universal occurrences (i.e. also existing in other cultures) of work-life conflict. It is thus crucial that work-life scholars re-investigate work-life conflict in a particular culture and context. In this chapter, we review and synthesise previous work-life research conducted within the context of the Confucian culture and inspect the unique and universal antecedents and outcomes of work-life conflict. We also extend the discussion from “work–family” to “work-life” to acknowledge other non-work aspects such as community, education, and after-work entertainment. Lastly, we discuss why work-life conflict has unique antecedents and outcomes in a Confucian culture and their relationships with universal antecedents and outcomes of work-life conflict.
