ABSTRACT:

Nursing is a profession with high job demands and irregular working hours, which often lead to conflicts between work and family responsibilities. This condition can trigger Work-Family Conflict (WFC), which negatively affects nurses' subjective well-being. Perceived Supervisor Support (PSS) is considered an important factor in mitigating the negative effects of WFC. This study aims to examine the influence of work-family conflict on subjective well-being and to investigate the moderating role of perceived supervisor support. This research employed a quantitative approach using a questionnaire method. A total of 132 nurses from private hospitals in South Lampung Regency were selected through simple random sampling. The instruments used in this study were the work-family conflict scale, subjective well-being scale, and perceived supervisor support scale. Data were analyzed using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with the assistance of SPSS software. The results showed that work-family conflict had a significant negative effect on nurses’ subjective well-being. Furthermore, perceived supervisor support was proven to moderate the relationship between work-family conflict and subjective well-being. High levels of supervisor support were found to weaken the negative impact of work-family conflict on nurses’ well-being. In conclusion, work-family conflict can reduce the subjective well-being of nurses; however, this effect can be minimized through strong perceived supervisor support. These findings highlight the crucial role of supervisors in creating a supportive work environment to maintain the psychological well-being of nursing staff.
