So this enforced professional women with work family conflict in their career life.This paper based on the previous research results with the two dimensions of work-family conflict and family-work conflict, constructed a bi-directional work family conflict model among professional women, put forward four hypothesizes and each hypothesis has one small hypotheses, such as the bi-directional work family conflict condition among professional women, the relation between stressors of professional women and the bi-directional work family conflict, and etc.By working on the result of work family balance questionnaire, we know the work family conflict condition among professional women, the work stressors and their satisfaction.
