The purpose of this study was to broaden the work-family literature by exploring perceptions about the impact of work-family conflict and work-family enrichment among higher education leaders. Much of the work-family literature has focused on work-family conflict. More recent research suggests that occupying the roles of both employee and family member may produce positive outcomes (Barnett, 1998; Barnett & Gareis, 2006). Greenhaus and Powell (2006) developed "work-family enrichment theory," which they define as "the extent to which experiences in one role improve the quality of life in the other role" (p. 72).This study employed mixed methods, engaging a survey-based quantitative inquiry, followed by a qualitative inquiry. The quantitative phase surveyed 159 higher education leaders from six universities, ranging from Carnegie Classified Research High Universities (RU/H), to Master's Colleges and Universities Larger Programs (Master's/L), to Baccalaureate Colleges-Diverse Fields (Bac/Diverse). The survey focused on how work-family conflict and work-family enrichment affected career commitment, organizational commitment, and satisfaction with life. Three separate multiple regression models were developed and resulted in significant models that predicted organizational commitment, career commitment, and satisfaction with life. The qualitative phase allowed for further exploration and explication of themes and trends revealed through the quantitative inquiry and analysis. Using a phenomenological research design, the researcher conducted semi-structured interviews with 12 higher education leaders. The analysis followed the General Inductive Approach as described by Thomas (2006).Results from the survey revealed that work-family enrichment increased career commitment, organizational commitment, and life satisfaction. Work-family conflict negatively impacted career commitment. The qualitative data further explicated the findings from the survey and revealed gender differences in the ways men and women experience the work-family interface.This study found that higher education leaders can and do experience both work-family conflict and work-family enrichment simultaneously. The findings derived from this research indicated that work-family enrichment contributed more to perceived organizational commitment, career commitment, and life satisfaction than work-family conflict detracted from it. Results revealed that prior research has underestimated the positive outcomes resulting from work-family enrichment.
