International researchers have increasingly recognised the interaction between work and nonwork roles as an interesting and important topic.\r\nThe purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of different workââ?¬â??nonwork conflict subscales and differences between demographic groups in workââ?¬â?? nonwork conflict.\r\nThe researchers chose a random sample of mining employees (n = 245) from a platinum mine in Rustenburg. The researchers used self-developed items similar to items developed in the Workââ?¬â??nonwork Interference Scale of Koekemoer, Mostert and Rothmann (2010) to measure conflict between work and various nonwork roles. The researchers used descriptive statistics, paired-sample t-tests, multivariate analysis of variance and one-way analysis of variance to analyse the data.\r\n Workââ?¬â??nonwork conflict was more prevalent than nonworkââ?¬â??work conflict. Workââ?¬â??family conflict was more prevalent than workââ?¬â??domestic conflict and workââ?¬â??religion/ spirituality conflict. The researchers found significant differences for marital status and language groups about workââ?¬â??nonwork conflict. Results showed that participants who spoke African languages experienced higher levels of privateââ?¬â??work conflict.
