The present article sociologically specified individual- social consequences of female employees` multiple role-playing conflict in Tehran municipality during 2018. Through the survey method of study and according to the statistical rules of determining the sample group, among 5600 people of the statistical society, 360 female employees in various districts of Tehran municipality were selected as the sample case in cluster multi-stage way. The data was gathered through researcher`s self-made questionnaire in 5 likert scale and 0.7 reliability and approval content validity. The main question of present research was to investigate the relationship between individual and social consequences with multiple role-playing conflict? The theoretical framework of the study was developed through Greenhous and Beutell (1985) conflict theory, rare and accumulation approach and extension theory. The results of Pearson correlation and linear regression revealed that there was a direct relationship among multiple role-playing conflict with job stress, rush and delay at affaires, physical burnout and family quarrel. However, there was an opposite relationship among women`s multiple role-playing conflict with their social support, job satisfaction and life satisfaction. Thereupon, with the employment of women in the modernity era and the lack of men`s cooperation with women in household chores at home and managers in the office, with the strong patriarchy background; they will encounter with multiple role-playing conflict at home and office which cause different individual and social consequences too.
