The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of work and father role, and work-to-fathering conflict on the psychological well-being of men in the 30s, 40s, and 50s. A total of 722 married male workers who were in age from 30 to 59 were surveyed over work and father role involvement, and the level of work-to-fathering conflict as well as their psychological well-being, through structured questionnaires. The methods of data analysis were mean, standard deviation, percent, GLM, and multiple regression. The major findings were as follows: First, no significant difference in the level of work and father role involvement and also the level of work-to-fathering conflict was found among three age groups(30s, 40s, and 50s). Second, there were differences among three age groups in terms of the significant variables predicting their level of psychological well-being. In the 30s, the level of work and father role involvement significantly affected the psychological well-being. In the 40s, the level of father role involvement and work-to-fathering conflict showed significant effects, while in the 50s, only the level of father role involvement revealed statistically significant effects.
