Work Boundary Management Tactics and Work-Family Conflict
\nAmong Offshore Employees in the Oil and Gas Industry

Managing work-family conflict is crucial for offshore employees in the oil and gas industry, where the
\nboundaries between work and family can blur due to extended offshore assignments. This study examines
\nthe relationship between various work boundary management tactics, including behavioural, physical,
\ncommunicative, temporal, and work-family conflict among offshore employees. A total of 95 offshore
\nemployees from selected oil and gas companies participated in the study. Pearson's correlation analysis was
\nused to assess the relationships between boundary management tactics and work-family conflict. The results
\nindicate significant relationships between behavioural, physical, and communicative tactics and workfamily conflict, while temporal tactics were associated with positive but weak and non-significant relationships. These findings offer actionable insights for enhancing work-life balance policies tailored to offshore settings and suggest directions for future research in this area.
