Abstract
The present time is characterized by high level of competitiveness on the
market, the rise of modern information technology, the demands for constant readiness
of employees, and long working hours. One of the substantial demographic
transformations involves the aging of the workforce. Numerous authors have
demonstrated the link between gender and work-life conflict, but only a few researchers
have examined how workers experience and manage conflict between their work and
home lives across the lifespan. The current study aimed to bridge this gap and examined
work-life conflict for individuals aged 30 to 72, focusing on how work-life conflict
changes with age. The results show curvilinearity between age in years and work-life
conflict. The negative value of the quadratic value coefficient shows a downward
concave curve, which confirms curvilinearity and can be interpreted as: the older one
is, the less work-life conflict is present – the drop begins after 51 years of age. The
results of this study give better insights into the age effect on work-life conflict among
higher education lecturers. The implications are foremost for the policymakers, higher
education lecturers themselves, and work-life conflict researchers. Results of this study
can be used both for further research and in practice. The broad scientific and
professional interest in the constructs relating to work-life conflict is growing as global
competition increases rapidly, and management expresses the need for such research;
work-life conflict plays a remarkable role in the sustainability of organizations through
their employees.
