        abstract = {Achieving a healthy balance between work and family duties has grown more and more difficult in today’s world. The pressures of work frequently entry personal time, resulting in a condition called work-to-family conflict (WFC). When the responsibilities and obligations of the workplace meet with family life, it can lead to friction and emotional strain for those trying to balance the two. The emotional mechanism of guilt, which is crucial but sometimes disregarded in WFC, is important because it mediates the interactions between these competing demands and how they affect a person’s wellbeing.},
