In this survey research study, the researcher employed a quantitative non-experimental design using a correlational research methodology to explore the relationship between sense of virtual community (SOVC) and work/family conflict (WFC) in working parents. Clark's work/family border theory was used to guide the research design. This study addressed a gap in literature within the WFC field that has not focused on the increase in virtual communities within the larger society today. Literature supports that WFC levels are high among working parents and that WFC can decrease work productivity and increase turnover and stress. The literature also supports that having a SOVC creates a sense of belonging and attachment to a group. The study examined 266 working parents through their self-disclosed survey responses to determine their Work/Family Conflict Scale score and their SOVC scores and those were used to examine the relationship between them and within the context of their demographics. This quantitative research study used Pearson's correlation coefficient, multiple regression analysis, and ANOVA to complete the data analysis through SPSS. The majority of participants were married, white, educated females living in the Northeast United States. A statistically significant relationship was not found to exist between the WAFCS and SOVC within this population. The results of this study indicated that work/status (full or part-time work) does influence WFC. Interestingly, both SOVC and WFC were also found to be different amongst the varying income levels. The researcher recommends future research conducting an existing organization with a vibrant virtual community and recruit both users and non-users of that community to participate and include a larger sample size to allow for more data analysis within groups.
