“…Job satisfaction is influenced by many antecedents, including employee welfare, team atmosphere, and organizational culture [ 31 ]. Past studies have indicated that job satisfaction plays a mediating role in the relationship between many variables, such as the relationship between positive affectivity and work motivation in the context of complex projects [ 32 ], and the relationship between WFC and psychological strain [ 33 ]. In addition, previous research has indicated that job satisfaction moderates the relationship between many variables in the context of a project, such as the relationship between equity and extra-role behaviors [ 34 ].…”

This study explored the effects of work-to-family conflict on job burnout and job outcomes in the construction industry, focusing on the moderating effects of affective commitment. Based on the conservation of resources theory, a theoretical model introducing affective commitment as a moderating variable was established. A structured questionnaire survey was then implemented among construction professionals in China. A total of 376 valid responses were obtained. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the valid data. The results revealed the following: (i) work-to-family conflict has a significant positive impact on job burnout, but a significant negative impact on job satisfaction and job performance; (ii) job burnout negatively affects job satisfaction and job performance; (iii) affective commitment negatively moderates the effects of work-to-family conflict on job burnout. This study provides a reference for construction companies to manage work-to-family conflict and job burnout of employees, while also improving their affective commitment and job outcomes.

“…Work-family conflict has a negative impact on an employee’s work and family life, as well as his/her physical and mental health and well-being [1,2,3,4]. Similarly, work-family conflict leads to higher job stress levels and dissatisfaction levels, which can even lead to resignation [5,6,7].…”

Abstract:The construction industry is a demanding work environment where employees' work-family conflict is particularly prominent. This conflict has a significant impact on job and family satisfaction and performance of employees. In order to analyze the dynamic evolution of construction industry employee's work-family conflict between work and family domains, this paper constructs a bi-directional dynamic model framework of work-family conflict by referring to the relevant literature. Consequently, a system dynamics model of employee's work-family conflict in the construction industry is established, and a simulation is conducted. The simulation results indicate that construction industry employees experience work interference with family conflict (WIFC) levels which are significantly greater than the family interference with work conflict (FIWC) levels. This study also revealed that improving work flexibility and organizational support can have a positive impact on the satisfaction and performance of construction industry employees from a work and family perspective. Furthermore, improving family support can only significantly improve employee job satisfaction.

“…Given that the work and family role systems represent the two most important domains of life for most people (Grandey, Cordeiro, & Crouter, 2005), an incompatibility between them can have negative impact on nurses' well-being and thereby detract from the quality of care rendered and patient outcomes. Extant research has associated work-family conflict with negative physical health outcomes and health-related behaviours (Allen & Armstrong, 2006;Berkman et al, 2015;van Steenbergen & Ellemers, 2009) as well as psychological outcomes such as anxiety, depression and life satisfaction (Kalliath & Kalliath, 2013;Moen et al, 2015). Work-family conflict also has implications for the quality of work life and retention of nurses.…”

AimJuggling work and family responsibilities remains an important concern for both employees and organizations. This study aimed at examining work and family demands as predictors of work–family conflict and the relationship between work–family conflict and burnout among registered nurses in Ghana.DesignThe study adopted a cross‐sectional survey design.MethodsData were collected from a sample of 134 registered nurses selected from five public hospitals in Accra through convenience sampling. Participants responded to structured questionnaires that assessed, among others, experiences of work–family conflict and burnout.ResultsMultiple regression analyses showed that long work hours and weekend schedules were associated with higher levels of work‐to‐family conflict, while the number of older dependants at home was positively related to family‐to‐work conflict. Family‐to‐work conflict was positively related to burnout, while work‐to‐family conflict was not significantly related to burnout.
