This study examines the impact of work-family conflict on decision making styles of faculty members in higher education sector of Pakistan. Study also highlights the moderating role of decisional intelligence (a part of emotional intelligence) in predicting the relationship among work-family conflict and decision making styles. Two hypotheses are generated for the present research work including; (i) work-family conflict has significant impact on the decision making styles of faculty members; and, (ii) decisional intelligence moderates the relationship between work-family conflict and decision making styles of faculty members. Questionnaire method is utilized to collect data from the sample of 352 faculty members employed in federal chartered universities of Pakistan. Results for H 1 suggest that work-family conflict negatively predicts rational and intuitive decision making; and, positively predicts avoidant and spontaneous decision making styles while no association is found with dependent decision making style. Results for H 2 suggest that decisional intelligence moderates the relationship among work-family conflict, rational, intuitive and dependent decision making styles. This research work describes both academic and professional issues and its findings can be comprehensively utilized for the betterment of higher education sector of Pakistan.
