Effects of Work-family Conflict on Job and Life Satisfaction Among Staff of the State Department of Coordination, Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government
Abstract
Work-family conflict has adverse effects on behaviour, emotions, and health. Underestimating the importance of helping workers to reduce the impacts, to date, few authors have examined work-family conflict among employees in public sector. This research, therefore, aimed to examine the association between work-family conflict and job and life satisfactions, as well as how gender influenced the associations. The research employed descriptive research design to examine the work-family conflict among the employees of the State Department of Coordination, Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. Data was collected using questionnaires targeting different employee levels in the ministry. The researcher used chi-square tests and analysis of variance (ANOVA) to obtain the relationship between work-family conflict, and job and life satisfaction. The researcher also compared men to women individual experiences at different levels of work relating to the work-family conflict, and job and life satisfactions. Current research helped to understand work and family roles including working women with children in job and life satisfaction, giving a consolidated overview of the current work and family theories within a conceptual and unifying manner.
