Relative risk was calculated in two ways:
- For those constructs marked with an *, risk was calculated by dividing the mean score achieved by employees with low work-life conflict by the mean score achieved by those with high work-life conflict
- For all other constructs, risk was calculated by dividing the mean score achieved by employees with high work-life conflict by the mean score achieved by those with low work-life conflict
Note: Only relative risks of 1.3 or greater are shown
