Postdoctoral scholars encounter challenges as they navigate the gap between graduate school and employment positions, one of which includes the challenge of work-family conflict and balance. We used structural equation modeling to test goal endorsement as a possible cultural moderator of the indirect relationship between work demand and work-family conflict. Results revealed that the indirect effect between work demand and work-family conflict was significant at low, but not high, levels of communal goal endorsement. In turn, work-family conflict was found to be a significant negative predictor of work-family balance satisfaction. Results suggest that minoritized postdoctoral scholars' high value of communion serves as a protective factor in reducing the deleterious effects of challenging work environments on work-family conflict and satisfaction with work-family balance. Empirical and practical implications of the findings are presented.
