Objective To investigate the current status of work interference with family among labor-intensive enterprise employees in Dongguan

so as to provide insights into the operational management of these enterprises.Methods A total of 884 employees from 8 labor-intensive enterprises in Dongguan were surveyed using the Work Interference with Family（WIF）Scale and Family Interference with work（FIW）Scale.Data were collected and statistically analyzed.Results The mean WIF score of these employees was 3.25±0.74

and the mean score of FIW was 2.62±0.69.The FIW score in males was higher than that in females（2.70±0.70 versus 2.52±0.67

P<0.05）;the behavior-based WIF（BWIF）score in employees younger than 30 years was significantly higher than those aged 30 to 39（P<0.05）;both the WIF score and time-based WIF（TWIF）score in employees with an annual household income>100 000 RMB were significantly lower than those with an annual household income <50 000 RMB or ranging from 50 000 to 100 000 RMB（P<0.05）;the WIF score in married employees who had to care for their children was significantly higher than that in unmarried employees and married employees who did not have to care for their children（P<0.05）;the WIF score in employees from a food enterprise and a sports equipment enterprise was significantly higher than those from an electronic enterprise（P<0.05）.The WIF and FIW scores did not vary significantly with age

educational background

or working position（P>0.05）.Conclusion The WIF level is relatively high among labor-intensive enterprise employees in Dongguan.It is important for enterprises to consider WIF of specific populations（e.g.employees younger than 30

low-income employees

and married employees who have to care for their children）

make efforts to relieve employees′WIF from the organizing aspect

pay more attention to human values

and provide more humanistic care to employees.
