During work from home during the pandemic, employees could gather with family. Positive experiences with family can improve the quality of work experiences and vice versa (work-family enrichment). However, employees need good coping skills to deal with stressors and have a positive experience. This study aims to examine the relationship between problem-focused, emotion-focused, and avoidant coping with work-family enrichment (WFE) and to determine the most effective type of coping that can be applied to achieve WFE. The research subjects were 121 permanent employees selected by non-random accidental sampling. Data analysis was performed by multiple linear regression. The study found that problem-focused and avoidant coping were related to WFE, W-FE, and F-WE. However, emotion-focused coping only correlated with the direction of W-FE. These results mean that problem-focused and avoidant coping support the realization of work-family enrichment from both directions. In contrast, emotion-focused coping is negatively related to the W-FE direction. Employees are expected to be able to focus on solving problems or diverting themselves from problems to achieve work-family enrichment.
