“…The current research established that the respondents with higher level of job satisfaction experienced lower level of W-FC. The findings are in consistency with finding of past studies by Namasivayam and Mount (2004), Michael et al (2004), Martins et al (2002), Howard et al (2004), Boles et al (2001), Karimi (2008), Ngah et al (2009) and Cohen and Liani (2009) which have successfully recognized that when work roles interfere with family roles, the individual's job satisfaction is lower. Considering the available evidence, it appears that job satisfaction as work factor, has consistently been shown to be the most significant antecedent of conflict in family domain.…”

“…Moreover, the research study by Aryee et al (1999) demonstrated that family-work conflict was negatively related to job satisfaction among Chinese employed parents in dual-earner families. Another study by Howard et al (2004) investigates the relationship between W-FC with employee job satisfaction among police officers in a large south-eastern state in the USA. Results indicate that, when an employee is experiencing conflict between work and family, satisfaction with the job in general and the actual work itself suffer the greatest declines.…”

The present study highlights the significance of job satisfaction as one of the most important work factors on W-FC and F-WC. This paper also examines the effects of one of the essential family factor which is family satisfaction on W-FC and F-WC. The respondents for this study consist of 198 married female nurses working in public hospitals in Shiraz-Iran. The findings revealed that married female nurses with high level of job satisfaction tend to report low level of W-FC. Unlike previous studies, the finding also indicates that there is no significant relationship between the respondents' job satisfaction and F-WC, which may be explained by the specific cultural context in Iran. This study also established that high level of family satisfaction is associated with low level of W-FC and F-WC. Implications are discussed and recommendations are made regarding future researches in this area.

This paper analyzes the effectiveness of social capital in reducing the negative externalities associated with stress, as well as the physical and psychological strain indicators among police officers. Despite the fact that there is a large multidisciplinary literature on stress or on social capital, the link between both factors is still underexplored. In this empirical paper we therefore aim at reducing such a shortcoming. We focus on a strategically important work environment, namely law enforcement agents, that is not only characterized as physically and emotionally demanding, but also as an essential part for a well-functioning society due to the fact that inefficiencies in the police force can induce large negative externalities. Using a multivariate regression analysis focusing on eight different proxies for stress and strain, and two proxies for social capital and conducting several robustness checks, we find strong evidence that an increased level of social capital is correlated with a lower level of strain. From a policy perspective, our findings suggest that stress reduction programs should actively engage employees to build stronger social networks.JEL classification: I1, I31, J24, J81, Z13

“…Previous research has shown that work-family conflict leads to various negative outcomes, including job dissatisfaction [6][7][8][9][10] . Thus, taking into account the reality of working life today and the stress-producing nature of work-family conflict, we are forced to reconsider the resources that might help either alleviate work-family conflict or, increase the level of job satisfaction.…”

Problem statement: Based on the literature review, few studies have tested the mediating effect of work-family conflict on the relationship between locus of control and job satisfaction. Approach: This study tested a mediation model consisting of job satisfaction as the dependent variable, locus of control as the independent variable and work-family conflict as the mediator. Data were gathered from 159 single mother employees, aged 45 and below and having at least one child, using self-administered questionnaires. The data were analyzed using correlation and multiple regression analyses. Results: Results of correlation analysis revealed that locus of control was related to work-family conflict and job satisfaction and work-family conflict was related to job satisfaction. Results of a series of multiple regression analyses indicated that work-family conflict partially mediates the relationship between locus of control and job satisfaction. During the screening process of potential recruits, employers should take into consideration locus of control as one of the important dispositional characteristics of candidates. Employers should look into the possibility of designing training programmes to assist employees in taking more control of events in their work situations. Conclusion: Single mother employees who believe that they are in control of the events that happen in their lives seem to be more satisfied with their jobs and seem to experience less work-family conflict.
