Abstract

Abstract

To explore the relationship between work-family conflict, emotional intelligence and work engagement among preschool teachers, a total of 270 preschool teachers in Henan province were selected to complete the survey.The result indicated that(a) the level of preschool teachers' work-family conflict(WFC) was a little high, and compared with their family interfere work(FIW), their work interfere family(WIF) was more serious; (b) preschool teachers' work-family conflict negatively predicted their work engagement, while their emotional intelligence positively predicted their work engagement; and(c) preschool teachers' emotional intelligence was a moderator between their work-family conflict and work engagement; specifically, preschool teachers' work-family conflict negatively predicted their work engagement at the low level of their emotional intelligence.However, at the high level of their emotional intelligence, preschool teachers' work-family conflict did not impact their work engagement significantly.
