The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effect of family-supportive supervisor behavior on the relationship between work-nonwork boundary management preferences and well-being among nurses. Questionnaire were administered to 67 registered nurses in a private hospital at Kuching, Sarawak. Pearson Correlation and Hierarchical Multiple Regression was used to test the hypotheses of the study. It can be confirmed that work-nonwork boundary management preferences which is segmentation and integration has no significant relationship with well-being among nurses. However, family-supportive supervisor behavior was reported to have a positively significant relationship with well-being among nurses. The result of the study also found that family-supportive supervisor behavior moderates the relationship between worknonwork boundary management preferences and well-being among nurses.
