Over the past 20 years, work-life domain research has given scholars and organizations a wide range of topics to explore. The majority of studies on the work-family domain (WF domain) among working professionals has tended to emphasize the advantages of having a work role and a non-work role rather than the disadvantages of how these roles can conflict. This study focuses on the scarcity viewpoint of work and family domain roles based on the conservation of resource theory, which contends that juggling work and family responsibilities ultimately results in work-family domain conflict and has detrimental effects on both organizational and individual life. Conflict between the work and family domains among IT professionals considerably contributes to emotional tiredness, which in turn results in greater turnover intention and decreased commitment to their job. Further, their emotional intelligence (EI) and transformational leadership (TFL) behavior of the head/principal with the foundation of emotional intelligence theory and transformational leadership theory addresses the major gap in the theory and literature in determining which variables could buffer the adverse effects on IT professionals. The current study thus examined the discrete and combined moderating effects of emotional tiredness and TFL, as well as the positive and negative relationships between work-family domain conflict and turnover intention and professional commitment.
