Abstract

This study aims to explore the experience of Work-Family Conflict (WFC) among millennial married women with children in West Java through a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design. The research method involved in-depth interviews with seven purposively selected participants, focusing on subjective narratives regarding time-based conflicts, emotional tensions, behaviours, as well as triggering factors such as lack of system support and children's conditions. The results revealed that WFC is experienced in a multidimensional way, with time-based conflict and emotional strain being the main challenges, while the transfer of disciplinary behaviour from work to family was also a significant phenomenon. The findings suggest the need for more flexible organisational policies and psychological support to reduce the impact of WFC. In conclusion, this study provides an in-depth understanding of the dynamics of WFC in millennial women who are married and have children in West Java, emphasising the importance of cultural and social context in the management of this conflict.
