The result of the comparison of the level of Work Life Conflict of multi-job holders who were separated into two groups by how they perceived their work (i.e., solely to generate income, n=61; or to support pursuing a calling, n=40) and single-job holders (n=177) yielded no significant difference. The results of the moderators of availability via communication technology (CT) and schedule flexibility revealed a significant interaction effect between work type and availability via CT on WLC, indicating that higher levels of availability via CT exacerbate WLC for those pursuing callings compared to those holding jobs. Additionally, work identified as a calling correlated higher on WLC levels than work identified as a job. Implications and future directions are discussed. born digital application/pdf In Copyright http://rightsstatements.org/page/InC/1.0/ Restricted Access
