<p>Workplace politics are a crucial source of stress that negatively impacts employees and spills in the family. This study focused on understanding the spillover effect of workplace politics on work-family conflict through psychological distress as a mediator and work engagement as a moderator. The study also utilized work-home resource models to define the conceptual model. In addition, a quantitative cross-sectional study design was used to collect data from 426 respondents who were full-time employees of information technology and business process management companies. The partial least squares structural equation modelling was used to test the hypotheses. The results indicate that workplace politics is positively related to work-family conflict, and psychological distress is a significant positive mediation between workplace politics and work-family conflict. Moreover, work engagement satisfies the mediating effect of psychological distress on the relationship between workplace politics and work-family conflict.</p>
