| description | As the number of dual-career employees entering the workplace increases, it is important
to understand how the integration of work and family responsibilities influences work
outcomes. The current study examined occupational role salience, work-family conflict,
basic understandings, spousal support, and organizational support as predictors of work
satisfaction. One hundred and sixteen dual-career faculty and staff from three Malaysian
universities completed a survey questionnaire. Results from stepwise regression analyses
showed that across all employees, work-family conflict was the most significant predictor
of work satisfaction. More specifically, for male employees, spousal support was the most
important predictor of work satisfaction followed by work-family conflict. Interestingly,
for female employees, work-family conflict was the most significant predictor followed by
organizational support. These results suggest that dual-career employees who find family
responsibilities intruding into their work activities are likely to experience lesser work
satisfaction. Dual-career employees receiving support and encouragement from a spouse
or from the employing organization are more likely to experience increased work
satisfaction. |
