Women managing concurrent work and family responsibilities often experience substantial role-related pressures. This study examines the influence of Work-Family Conflict on Individual Work Performance, with income and work period assessed as moderating variables. Cross-sectional design, data were collected from 115 female laundry workers in Pontianak City, Indonesia, and analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modelling. The results show that Work-Family Conflict influences performance solely through the Counterproductive Work Behavior dimension, with income weakening and work period strengthening. The limited sample size represents a key constraint, indicating the need for broader and more diverse future investigations.
