Abstract (2. Language): 
Purpose: The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of family-friendly HRM policies in the perception of workers and their organizational performance. Design/methodology: The authors have conducted a review of the major research related to work-family conflict and family-friendly HRM policies to overcome this conflict, to draw conclusions about its impact on worker performance. Findings: This paper proposes an integrative model of the relationship between workfamily conflict and family-friendly HRM policies and perceptual variables on the one hand, and organizational behavior of the worker on the other hand. Perceptual variables analyzed are stress, job satisfaction and motivation. Regarding the variables related to organizational behavior worker absenteeism, rotations and performance were analyzed. The analysis results show evidence that the existence of work-family conflict influences negatively on the perceptual variables and organizational behavior of the worker, especially in performance. In turn, the existence of family-friendly HRM policies positively affects these variables. Originality/value: This study integrates different perspectives related to work-family conflict and family-friendly HRM policies, from an eclectic vision. Thus, a more complete picture of the topic under investigation is provided. Furthermore, the proposed integrative model allows useful conclusions to management, both from the perspective of purely human resource management, and the improvement of organizational productivity.

Objeto: El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el impacto de la implantación de medidas de conciliación trabajo-familia en la percepción de los trabajadores y cómo ésta puede influir en su comportamiento, especialmente en su desempeño organizativo. Diseño/metodología/enfoque: Se ha realizado una revisión de la literatura y de los principales trabajos de investigación relacionados con el conflicto trabajo-familia y las medidas de conciliación para superar dicho conflicto, para extraer conclusiones sobre su impacto en el desempeño del trabajador. Aportaciones y resultados: Este trabajo propone un modelo integrador que muestra las relaciones existentes entre la conciliación trabajo-familia y variables perceptuales, de un lado,y relacionadas con el comportamiento organizativo del trabajador, de otro. Entre las variables perceptuales se analizan el estrés, la satisfacción laboral y la motivación. En cuanto a las variables relacionadas con el comportamiento organizativo del trabajador se analizan el absentismo, el abandono y el desempeño. Los resultados del análisis muestran evidencias de que la existencia de conciliación trabajo-familia es percibida favorablemente por los trabajadores y mejora su comportamiento organizativo, especialmente su desempeño. Originalidad / Valor añadido: Este estudio integra diferentes perspectivas relacionadas con el conflicto y la conciliación trabajo-familia, desde una visión ecléctica.De este modo, se aporta a la literatura existente un enfoque más completo del tópico investigado. Además, el modelo integrador que se propone permite extraer conclusiones útiles para la dirección tanto desde una perspectiva puramente de gestión de recursos humanos, como de mejora de la productividad organizativa.
