Based on social support and gender role theories, we examined the direct and interactive effects of leader�member exchange, gender and spouse's gender role orientation on work�family conflict. Survey data were collected from matched dyads from 185 dual-earner couples in Sri Lanka. The results show that leader�member exchange is negatively related to work interference with family. There is also support for crossover effects among couples such that individuals with spouses who have a traditional gender role orientation experience greater work interference with family conflict. Finally, there is a three-way interaction such that a spouse's gender role orientation moderates the relationship between leader�member exchange and work interference with family conflict differently for men and women.
