Effect of work-family conflict management model in life satisfaction of male employees

Abstract

Today, work-family issues have gained special importance to employees, families, and organizations. Work-family conflict is an inter-role conflict in which work and family demands are mutually incompatible and creates stress and numerous problems. So, the aim of this study was to examine the effect of work-family conflict management model in life satisfaction of male employees. The statistical population included all male employees of the bank in Tehran. In this study 30 male employees were selected and randomly divided into the experimental group (n=15) and control group (n=15). The experimental group underwent six-sessions of work-family conflict management program and the control group did not receive any intervention. It is noteworthy that after two months from pretest applying, participants from both groups underwent the pretest. The results showed a significance difference in life satisfaction between the experimental and control groups after the intervention. So, the results of this study could be explained by the fact that worklife conflict management practices are skills that are designed to reduce work-life conflict and enable employees to be more effective in their roles of work and life. Also, program practices enhance employees' autonomy and increase their capacity to perform well in work-family situation.

Besides, practitioners want to be sure that after trainings/ workshops employees will transfer their knowledge and skills into a workplace.…”
