Family Work Conflict

The present study aims to explore the relationship between work demand and work–family conflict, and family demand and family–work conflict. This study also tries to find out the moderating effect of family-friendly policies between the proposed relationships. The data for this study were collected from 217 women employees working in steel manufacturing companies of Jharkhand. The results of the study indicate that there is positive correlation between work demand and work–family conflict, and family demand and family–work conflict. Moreover, family-friendly policies are observed to significantly moderate the relationship of work demand and work–family conflict, but they do not significantly moderate the relationship of family demand and family–work conflict. This article gives insights into understanding the role of family-friendly policies to reduce the work–family conflict among women employees. A few measures are suggested, and employers should adopt such policies to minimize the work–family conflict, which can lead to better work–life balance

Family Work Conflict

Turnover intentions are to lose skilled workers. Job stress is the cause of the use of employee turnover. Work-Family Conflict (WFC) and Family Work Conflict (FWC) were considered to be intermediaries between the employees' Turnover Intentions. This study investigates the relationship between Job Stress and Turnover Intentions. It was studied by taking Work-Family Conflict (WFC) and Family Work Conflict (FWC) as mediator. Research is based on a quantitative approach. Data were collected from employees in the public and private sectors by means of a questionnaire distributed among 330 employees, and a total of 296 responses was received. An analysis was conducted on SPSS. The relationship was estimated through the association between Pearson and the gist of the variables determined by conducting regression analysis. It was designed to evaluate the impact of the WFC and FWC using the Hayes process. With the mediated influence of WFC and FWC, this study showed the significant positive impact of Job Stress and Turnover Intentions.

Family Work Conflict

We drew on conservation of resources theory to investigate the relationships between family embeddedness, work–family conflict, family–work conflict, and employee turnover intention, thereby extending the literature relating to antecedents of turnover intention to the family domain. Participants were 175 employees of a construction company in China, who completed online surveys. Results showed that family embeddedness was negatively related to work–family conflict and family–work conflict, and that the relationship between family embeddedness and turnover intention was partially mediated by family–work conflict. Thus, we have obtained preliminary evidence that family-related factors influence individuals' turnover intention. Our findings will help with identifying practical considerations around reducing turnover intention.

Family Work Conflict

Based on the leadership literature, this study investigates how paternalistic leadership (PL) and polychronicity (PC) affect the life satisfaction (LS) of nurses, specifically in public hospitals. Moreover, the mediating role of work-family conflict (WFC) and family-work conflict (FWC) is also assessed the relationships among PL, PC, and LS. The cross-sectional study design is used in this study due to its cost benefits and the convenience of data collection at a single point in time. A survey questionnaire is used to collect data from 226 nurses, and the Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique is used to investigate the proposed model. The findings of this study confirmed that PL and PC have a positive relationship with LS. Furthermore, WFC partially mediated the relationships among PL, PC, and LS. In addition, FWC partially mediated the relationship between PL and LS; the role of FWC in mediating the relationship between PC and LS has been found to be insignificant. Employees with high PC and those whose supervisors show PL behavior become more satisfied with their lives and have relatively low WFC and FWC. In addition, the theoretical and practical implications have also been discussed.

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Trotz einer hohen Zahl an Abschlüssen in der Humanmedizin ist in Deutschland immer häufiger von einem Ärztemangel die Rede. Ein Grund ist die schwierige Vereinbarkeit von Kliniktätigkeit und Familienleben, die vor allem Ärztinnen als Hauptgrund für die spätere Arbeit im nicht-kurativen Bereich nennen. Ziel der Arbeit Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit dem Einfluss des Elternstatus von Ärztinnen und Ärzten auf ihre Karriereentwicklung und das Belastungserleben am Ende der Weiterbildung. Darüber hinaus betrachtet werden die Auswirkungen von befristeten Arbeitsverträgen und erlebter Unterstützung durch den Partner auf das Belastungserleben. Material und Methoden Es wurden die Daten der KarMed-Studie, welche sich mit Karriereverläufen von Ärztinnen und Ärzten während der fachärztlichen Weiterbildung beschäftigt, ausgewertet. Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der querschnittlichen Analyse des Erhebungszeitraums von Oktober 2015 bis Mai 2016. Zu diesem befanden sich 433 StudienteilnehmerInnen am Ende ihrer Weiterbildung. Eingesetzt wurden u. a. die Fragebögen Work-Family Conflict und Family-Work Conflict Skalen. Ergebnisse Ärztinnen mit Kind unterbrechen die Weiterbildung fünfmal häufiger als ihre Kolleginnen ohne Kind und achtzehnmal häufiger als Ärzte mit Kind. Ärztinnen mit Kind sowie Ärzte mit Kind weisen signifikant höhere Werte auf der Family-Work Conflict Skala auf, Ärztinnen ohne Kind hingegen höhere Werte auf der Work-Conflict Skala. Bei Ärzten zeigt sich kein signifikanter Unterschied auf der Work-Family Skala. Weder ein befristeter Arbeitsvertrag noch die Verteilung von Kinderbetreuung zwischen Ärztinnen/Ärzten und ihren Partnern/-rinnen haben einen signifikanten Einfluss auf das Belastungserleben zur Folge. Schlußfolgerung Es besteht ein Bedarf die Konflikte, die aus dem Familienleben auf das Arbeitsleben wirken insbesondere für Ärztinnen in Weiterbildung zu reduzieren.

The Relationship

Purpose Using person–job fit, congruence and conservation of resources theories as the theoretical underpinnings, the purpose of this study is to propose and test a research model that investigates work-family conflict and family–work conflict as mediators of the impact of person–job fit on work engagement. The model also examines the mediating role of work engagement in the relationship between conflicts in the work–family interface and life satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach Data gathered from frontline hotel employees two weeks apart in three waves in Romania were utilized to assess the abovementioned relationships via structural equation modeling. Findings Two directions of conflict act as partial mediators between person–job fit and work engagement. Work engagement fully mediates the relationship between work–family conflict and life satisfaction, while it functions as a partial mediator of the effect of family–work conflict on life satisfaction. Originality/value This paper contributes to current knowledge by investigating the interrelationships of person–job fit, two directions of conflict, work engagement and life satisfaction.
