Background: The present study aims to identify different work-family boundary management profiles among
Finnish employees, and examine how these relate to conflict between work and family or their mutual enrichment.
Method: Participants from two samples, one consisting of university staff (n1 = 1,139) and another of nurses (n2 =
271), were asked to respond to an online survey concerning work-family boundary management, work-to-family
enrichment, and work-to-family conflict scales.
Results: A cluster analysis identified three profiles in both samples: segmentors, integrators and favoring family
over work in the university sample, and segmentors, integrators and favoring work over family in the nurse sample.
In both samples integrators experienced a higher level of work-to-family enrichment and a lower level of
work-to-family conflict in comparison to segmentors.
Conclusion: Individuals with a tendency to integrate work and family domains experience higher work to family
enrichment and lower work to family conflict compared to those who separate work and family domains.
