Work-Family Conflict and Job Satisfaction: An Empirical Study in the Banking Sector of Pakistan

Abstract

As globalization advances, the distinction between work and family life steadily diminishes. Work-family conflicts occur when work demands interfere with family responsibilities or vice versa. This study examines the influence of work-family conflict on employee job satisfaction in the banking sector. This study examines how work-family conflict, including time- and strain-based conflicts, affects job satisfaction among male and female employees. Three hundred twenty-five questionnaires were distributed to employees to collect data. The study's findings demonstrated the negative influence of work-family conflict and its dimensions on job satisfaction. In addition, work-family conflict has a more significant effect on female employees' job satisfaction than male colleagues. This study sheds light on the growing concerns of work-family conflicts in the banking industry and the need to mitigate its adverse effects. Besides, it assists bank management in developing and implementing ways to reduce work-family conflicts due to job and enhance employee job satisfaction.
