“…BELIAS et al 2015). Although at bivariate level there were intercorrelations among work time demands, work-family conflicts and work satisfaction in concordance with previous studies (ADAMS et al 1996;MICHEL et al 2010), those variables became nonsignificant in the multivariate models. This fact also strengthened the relative dominant role of burnout.…”

“…Despite that they make continuous effort to carry out their roles effectively, incompatible, vague or conflicting expectations may often lead to role conflict and role ambiguity (BELIAS et al 2015). The role theory also emphasised the scarcity hypothesis, that is, due to a fixed amount of resources, such as time and energy, the different requirements may lead to incompetency in work, family or both (MICHEL et al 2010). Therefore, the literature often focused on the work-family conflict, namely a source of stress related to the role pressures from the work and family domains which may influence a number of outcomes including psychological distress, job satisfaction, organisation commitment, turnover, and life satisfaction (ADAMS et al 1996;.…”

The main goal of the present study was to investigate, based on the Job Demands-Resources Model, a set of work-related variables as possible correlates (either as job demands or resources) of work satisfaction in a sample of Hungarian educators (N = 2,068, aged between 23-74 years, mean = 48.1 and S.D. = 8.9; 83.5% females). Results report that in this sample of Hungarian educators, their work satisfaction is closely related to the presence of burnout (particularly emotional exhaustion) and it is also influenced by role conflicts and role ambiguity in their workplace; whereas work-family conflict and work time demands do not play a role. On the other hand, educators' work satisfaction may be protected by certain job resources such as satisfaction with professional prestige, work social support and work involvement. Satisfaction with salary and work policy was not significant. Findings suggest that interventions at both individual and organisational level should be necessary, e.g. learning effective coping techniques to prevent burnout and increase work satisfaction well before the start of an educator's career. The organisational interventions should strengthen job resources and eliminate/decrease job demands. Keywords

“…Inflexible work schedules can create role conflicts when entrepreneurs strive to balance work and family as shown in several studies offering corroborating evidence (see Aryee, 1992;Byron, 2005;Greenhaus & Beutell, 1985;Lee & Choo, 2001;Michel et al, 2010;Yildirim & Aycan, 2008). Unfortunately, the empirical foundation for these studies have been inconsistent, with some postulating that schedule flexibility caused less work-family conflict when individuals frequently accessed their control of their schedules (Byron, 2005;Kossek & Michel, 2011;Thomas & Ganster, 1995).…”

“…Of these factors, role ambiguity and role conflict were seen not only to be the precursors of work-family conflict, but also associated with higher levels of such conflicts (Aryee, 1992;Chin et al, 2012;Grandey & Cropanzano, 1999;Michel et al, 2010). Not to be sidestepped, role overload was also shown to have a significant relationship with work-family conflict (see Aminah Ahmad & Maznah Baba, 2003;Fu & Shaffer, 2001).…”

Modern day entrepreneurs who operate in today's highly volatile socioeconomic circumstances are undeniably encumbered with a host of role stressors that affect their businesses and personal lives, namely role overload, role ambiguity and role conflict. Coupled with work schedule flexibility, these role stressors have a bearing on work-family conflict and are the focus of this study. Employing self-administered questionnaires via purposive sampling, data were collected from Malaysian entrepreneurs, married with at least one child. Results derived utilising the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach suggest that role conflict and role overload positively affect work-family conflict. However, role ambiguity and work schedule flexibility indicate insignificant effect on work-family conflict. Given a multitude of challenges faced by entrepreneurs in this context, an understanding of the findings can bring to light some insights on how work-family balance can be achieved to boost the development of Malaysian entrepreneurs.

“…In line with role theory, work and family life dimensions entail multiple roles often resulting in conflict (Michel, Mitchelson, Pichler, & Cullen, 2010). It has also been suggested that domain boundaries are asymmetrically permeable from work to non-work (Frone, Russel, & Cooper, 1992).…”

Starting from the Social Exchange Theory, this study tested a theoretical model that examined the mediating role of Leader-Member Exchange in the relationship among two extra-work variables (Work-Family Conflict and Community Embeddedness) and Job Satisfaction. Using structural equation modeling, the relationships among the variables were explored in a sample of 561 health care workers from Italian Hospitals. Although not all the hypotheses were confirmed, findings supported that leaders can be considered an important factor in the mediation between nonwork dimension and job attitudes. Specifically, findings showed that extra-work dimension had a direct effect on the quality of relationship with a leader, which in turn influenced the employee' job satisfaction. The implications of these findings on future research and organizational practice are discussed.
