Nevertheless, research concerning possible moderators that could attenuate its detrimental effects is still scarce. The present study aimed to fill this gap by addressing work-family enrichment and supervisor support as moderators of relationship conflict. The study involved 288 employees from small and medium companies from Andalusia (Spain). Consistent with previous evidence, results demonstrate a strong and negative association between relationship conflict and job satisfaction. However, work-family enrichment and supervisor support revealed to play a key role in buffering this effect, so that for employees that perceive a supportive supervisor and an enriching work environment, the negative consequences of relationship conflict on job satisfaction are not so damaging.Las consecuencias negativas del conflicto de relación en las organizaciones son ampliamente conocidas. Sin embargo, se han llevado a cabo escasas investigaciones sobre los posibles moderadores que podrían atenuar sus efectos perjudiciales. El presente estudio trata de suplir este vacío examinando el enriquecimiento trabajo-familia y el apoyo del supervisor como moderadores del conflicto de relación. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 288 empleados y empleadas de pequeñas y medianas empresas de Andalucía (España). Consistentes con la evidencia previa, los resultados demuestran una fuerte y negativa asociación entre el conflicto de relación y la satisfacción en el trabajo. Sin embargo, el enriquecimiento trabajo-familia y el apoyo del supervisor revelaron que juegan un papel clave en amortiguar este efecto, de tal modo que para los empleados que perciben un supervisor que les apoya y un ambiente de trabajo enriquecedor, las consecuencias negativas del conflicto de relación sobre la satisfacción en el trabajo no son tan dañinas.Colegio Oficial de Psicologos de Madrid2009info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedapplication/pdftext/htmlapplication/xmlhttps://doi.org/10.4321/s1576-59622009000200002reponame:Journal of Work and Organizational Psychologyinstname:Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos de MadridIngléshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es_ESCopyright © 2026.
