Relationship among Work-family Conflict, Family-work Conflict and Job Satisfaction in University Teachers

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find the relationship between work-family interaction and job satisfaction among university professors. It also looked into the current level. The study was confined to teaching faculty of public universities. The study's participants were instructors of different public Universities. The random sampling approach was used to choose the appropriate sample. The instrument was delivered to 579 instructors, 461 of whom participated in the survey, obtaining a 79% response rate. The correlation study design was used to determine the association between the three variables. The data was gathered using a survey approach. To assess the study variable, two standardized instruments were used: the Work-family Conflict Scale (WFCS) by Dawn S. Carlson and the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) by Paul E. Spector, all of which were based on a five-point rating scale ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. To ensure the instrument's validity and reliability, it was pilot tested. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used. The study found a modest association between the factors.
