Abstract

The quantity and quality of women's employment has long been a worldwide issue and has particular resonance in Turkey. In Turkey, the banking sector is of particular significance due to its high number of female employees. Thus, owing to this phenomenon, the main focus of the chapter is on the banking sector. One of the greatest problems facing working women in life is work-family conflict, kind of role conflict. Furthermore, in recent years, organizational cynicism has long been a central plank in many studies. This study thus examines women's conflict with work and family life along with organizational cynicism and its numerous lower dimensions. Data gathered from 182 female bankers was analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Program of Social Sciences) software. Analysis of the results would suggest that some demographic variables have a significant impact upon organizational cynicism and the conflict between work and family life conflict. Also, there is a positively significant correlation in medium level between the variables.

The Culture of Conflict Resolution and its Influence on Employee Retention

“…To this we have added a contribution on methods of examining conflict management (Tjosvold, 2006(Tjosvold, , 2008Rahim, 2010). It is important to note, for example, that culture influences both behavior and strategy (Zyl, 2019;Alon and Higgens, 2005;Du Plessis, 2012); also, the relevance of conflict within families to organizational conflict has been studied (Efeoglu and Sanal, 2019;Zhu and Li, 2015;Facer and Wadsworth, 2008); finally, gender has been considered as a factor in organizational conflict (Rahim and Katz, 2019;Yasim, 2019;Bakar and Salleh, 2015), with a conclusion drawn by Baron, Neuman, and Geddes (1999) and Anderson and Bushman (2002) that men are more likely to show aggression at work, while women tend to prefer mediation.…”
