Background and Aim: Administration of the therapy protocols can increase psychological well-being with resultant decrease in the work-family conflict. The purpose of this study was to make a comparison between the effects of group-based acceptance and commitment therapy and group-based reality therapy on work-family conflict and psychological well-being with maintenance effect among married female tele-communication company staffs in Tehran, in 2018-2019.
Materials and Methods: This was a semi-experimental study with pre-test, post-test and follow-up design. 45 employees were selected purposefully and randomly were assigned to three groups. For data collection we used work-family questionnaire (Netemeyer, Boles & McMurrian, 1996) & psychological well-being scale (Ryff, 1989) and two therapeutic protocols (group-based acceptance and commitment therapy and group-based reality therapy). We used mix variance analysis and frequency measurement variance analysis.
Results: Comparison of the effects of group therapy with acceptance and commitment therapy with those of group-based reality therapy showed different results on reduction of work-family conflict. Also in regard to positive relationships with others (psychological well-being), acceptance and commitment therapy showed different efficacy compared to group therapy based on reality.
Conclusion: We concluded that group-based acceptance & commitment therapy can be used for improvement of the psychological well-being, and group-based reality therapy can be a suitable way for reduction of the work-family conflicts.
