Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to compare the work/family border theory to work-life spillover theory in an organizational role theory and attribution theory perspective. This study also aimed to list the work-family interface variables and the variables regarding organizational roles by using a meta-analytical review technique. 89 suitable studies were found. The effect sizes of work-family balance on turnover intention is nonsignificant, the effect size of work-life balance, work interfering with familyand family interfering with work on turnover intention was small, and the effect size of the rest of the relationships were medium. The findings supported work-life spillover theory, but not work/family border theory. Type of industry was a significant moderator for the relationship between role conflict and turnover intention. The results of this meta-analysis can be used by the managers to determine organizational policies.
