Abstract
Hypotheses about sex differences and inter‐social role and intra‐work role conflict were tested in a university setting. Results indicate that inter‐role conflict is primarily a function of the number of social roles held. There was no number of social roles by sex interaction. Women did perceive greater conflict between work and home maintenance roles than men perceived. Intra‐work role conflict is primarily a function of the position of the work role in the organization's structure and the role responsibilities.
