Relationship Between Job Satisfaction and Work Family Conflict Among Female Teachers

Abstract

Work Family refers to the situation where all family members do jobs or work. Work family is controversial, and conflicts arise. Work Family Conflict describes the conflict between work and family domains. The present research explored the relationship between job satisfaction and work family conflict among female teachers. A sample consisting of 300 female teachers (all married) was taken from the educational institution of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Two scales were administered on the sample. It was hypothesized that teachers who have nuclear family systems have less family conflict than those who have joint Family systems. Another aim was to determine the status of job of female teachers (permanent and non-permanent) and data was also analyzed with respect to demographic variables. The findings of the study indicate that working women with children have less job satisfaction and have more problems in work family conflict. Moreover, working married women who have nuclear family system have more job satisfaction than the women having joint family system and thus face more difficulties in work and family.
