Summary/Abstract: The authors analyze concepts and problems in research of the work-family interface, i.e. the interrelation of the family and work stress and strain and the influence of both types of conflict on the individual's job and life satisfaction, health and well-being. Also, the research results are reviewed and special attention is given to complex models that take into account numerous determinants of the work-family interface (job involvement, family and job stress, family support, work-family conflict and family-work conflict) as well as the consequences of the work-family conflict (work and life satisfaction, psychological and physical health and alcohol abuse). The inconsistencies and contradictions of the research results are pointed out and the unsolved problems are identified and defined. The problem of a spillover or segregation of different domains of conflict is stressed as the main unresolved issue which is important both from the theoretical and practical point of view.
