The participants of this study consisted of 363 employees of National Iranian Drilling Company (222 male & 141 female), who were selected by simple random sampling method. The instruments used in this study were Work-Family Conflict, Work-Family Enrichment, Resilience, Turnover Intention, Job Satisfaction, Family Satisfaction and General Health (GHQ-12) Questionnaires. Data was analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficients and moderated hierarchical regression analysis. The results showed that there was a significant negative relationship between psychological well-being and work-family conflict and turnover intention and there was a significant positive relationship between psychological well-being and work-family enrichment. Further, moderated regression analysis showed that resiliency moderated these relationships significantly.

In this study, analyzed target jobs using an interview-based job analysis upon Occupational Information Network (O * NET) including a list of tasks and individual characteristics which is provided as a whole and functional job analysis (FJA) which determines relation of each task with the individual characteristics. Analytical review of strengths and weaknesses of the methods used, indicate that the two methods FJA and O* NET can be appropriate complementary methods in order to develop Individual-oriented performance appraisal criteria, Thus, each of the referred methods has strengths that are well cover each other's weaknesses.
