    Work family is considered a worse form of interrole conflict, it is implicit that teachers experience conflict in both work and family domains. This constant conflict cause issues in psychological well-being and dissatisfaction with work-family sphere. In order to minimize work-family conflict, self-compassion is considered a helpful way to bring happiness in a person’s life. Primary goal of this study was to examine the moderating role of self-compassion in the relationship between work-family conflict and psychological wellbeing. A sample of N=200 working teachers was selected from various colleges of Lahore, Pakistan, using a convenient sampling technique. The age range of the sample was between 25 to 56 years. Work-Family Conflict Scale (Carlson, Kacmar, & Williams, 2000), Psychological Well-Being scale (Ryff, 2018) and Self-Compassion Scale (Neff, 2003b) were used in the present study. Correlation analysis showed that Work family/Family-work conflict was found to be significantly and negatively correlated with psychological well-being. Whereas self-compassion was found to be significantly and positively correlated with psychological well-being. Regression analysis showed that work-family conflict significantly and negatively predicted psychological well-being. While the family-work conflict was found to be a non-significant predictor of psychological well-being. However, Self compassion significantly predicts psychological well-being. However, the conditional effect showed that a lower level of self-compassion had the negative effect of work-family conflict on psychological well-being and a higher level of self-compassion was found less negative in direction but non-significant, suggesting that the higher level of self-compassion could lead to a positive direction for psychological well-being. Moderation analysis between family-work conflict was found to be non-significant. The findings propose that work-family conflict affected the psychological well-being and self-compassion was found significant positive predictor of ii psychological well-being. the present study can direct future researchers toward the significance of work-family conflict and its effects in educational institutions. Moreover, it identifies an obliging way that can reduce the destructive effects of work-family conflict.
