Popis: In this study, the researchers used quantitative analysis to examine the relationship between counselors' work-family conflict, work-family enrichment, work variables, and faamily variables during the COVID-19 pandemic. Factors that predicted counselors' experience of conflict between work and family roles included lacking workplace flexibility, having a child under the age of 6, spending a high number of hours caring for, others, and experiencing a change in location of the work setting due to COVID-19. Workplace flexibility and a low number of hours spent caring for others predicted counselors' experience of enrichment. Participants' mean responses to the Work-Family Conflict Scale and Work-Family Enrichment Scale indicated they experienced higher levels of enrichment than conflict during the pandemic.
