Summary/Abstract: Purpose: Work-family enrichment is seen as one of the effective resources in ensuring the professional vitality of employees within the framework of the conservation of resources theory. Therefore, it is believed that the professional vitality of employees will also increase as their business family enrichment increases. Based on this idea, this study aims to examine the effect of work-family enrichment on professional vitality. Design/methodology/approach – The research sample consists of a total of 314 teachers working within the scope of private and public schools in Sinop. In this study, quantitative data analysis method was applied and 5-point Likert type scales were used. The relationship between the variables were determined with correlation analysis and the research hypotheses were analyzed with the structural equation model. Findings: As a result of the findings obtained from the research, it has been observed that enrichment from work to family and enrichment from family to work, which are sub-dimensions of work-family enrichment, have a high level of positive and statistically significant effect on professional vitality. (Standardized β = 0.505, p≤0.05; Standardized β = 0.367, p≤0.05, respectively). It has been concluded that 70% of professional vitality can be explained by work-family enrichment (R2=0.701). Discussion: It has been observed that the research model and hypotheses created within the framework of the theory of conservation of resources are confirmed according to the findings and results of the analysis. Work-family enrichment refers to the fact that roles related to family and work are based on components of harmony rather than conflict with each other. The examination of these living spaces, which are generally examined from the perspective of conflict in the literature, within the framework of positive psychology, can be seen as a necessity for high performance and impact. When individuals are considered as a whole, roles related to different areas of their lives should be analyzed in an analytical and coordinated manner. From this point of view, which is also seen as the determinants of empathy and tolerance, it can be ensured that individuals are healthy and high-performing in all aspects.
