Nielson, Troy R.; Carlson, Dawn S.; Lankau, Melenie J.
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v59 n3 p364-81 Dec 2001
Of 502 workers surveyed, 283 had mentors. Those with mentors reported significantly less work-family conflict, especially family interference with work. Mentors' support of efforts to balance work and family significantly reduced work-family conflict. Role modeling by mentors significantly reduced family interference with work.
