Abstract

Abstract: This study examines the effect of work-family conflict on tour leaders' psychological well-being and aims to understand the moderating role of leisure coping styles. A total of 288 valid questionnaires were collected from outbound tour leaders. Results show that the work-family conflict has a negative effect on the psychological well-being of tour leaders and that the planned-breather leisure coping style has a positive effect on psychological well-being, and the avoidant leisure coping style has a negative effect. Moreover, the planned-breather leisure coping style can buffer the negative relationship between work-family conflict and psychological well-being, and the avoidant leisure coping style can reinforce the negative relationship between work-family conflict and psychological well-being.
