Abstract: This research paper aims to test the moderation effects of organisational support (OS) in the relationship between both directions of work-family conflict (work to family conflict and family to work conflict) and well-being. In order to achieve this fundamental objective, in this paper, the convenience sampling technique has been adopted. A sample of 280 academicians who work in private universities in Bangladesh are taken as the respondents structural equation modelling (SEM) technique using AMOS, multi-group analysis method has been adopted to test for the moderation effects. The findings revealed that OS does not moderate the relationships between both directions of work-family conflict (W-FC) and well-being (WB). However, the findings of this research were discussed in relation to the conservation of resource (COR) theory. This study has added further value to the aspects of organisational behaviour and human resource management with the incorporation of the situations that influence the relationship between work to family conflict (W to FC), family to work conflict (F to WC) and well-being.

Keywords: academicians; family to work conflict; private universities; work to family conflict; well-being.
