Relationship between Job Statisfaction Levels and Work-Family Conflicts of Physical Education Teachers

Abstract

Study aims to examine the relationship between perceived job satisfaction levels and work-family conflicts of the physical education teachers. Research group consists of 154 volunteer physical education teachers that work full time in governmental institutions in Kirşehir city and its counties. To acquire the job satisfaction datum; the Minnesota job satisfaction Scale, developed by Weiss, Dawis, England and Lofquist (1967) and adapted to Turkish version by Baycan (1985), was used. For acquiring the work-family conflict datum the Work-Family Conflict Scale, developed by Netemeyer et al. (1996) and adapted to Turkish by Efeoglu (2006), was used. While there was no meaningful difference determined between groups in the job satisfaction levels of physical education teachers according to gender and working year in the institution variance there was a meaningful difference determined between groups according to age and working year variance. When work-family conflict levels of teachers are considered while there was no meaningful difference found between groups according to gender variance there was a meaningful difference determined between groups according to age and working year in that institution variances. As a result, there was no meaningful relationship found between job satisfaction levels and work-family conflict levels of physical education teachers.

Work-Family Conflict and Primary and Secondary School Principals’ Work Engagement: A Moderated Mediation Model

“…This suggested that primary and secondary school principals’ work-family conflict directly related to work engagement and also indirectly related to work engagement through job satisfaction. Meanwhile, the results also support those of previous studies reporting that work-family conflict is an important factor affecting teachers’ job satisfaction ( Erdamar and Demirel, 2016 ; Ulucan, 2017 ), and job satisfaction was positively correlated with work engagement ( Taghipour and Dezfuli, 2013 ; Huang et al, 2016 ; Wang et al, 2017 ; Park and Johnson, 2019 ). Following the conservation of resources theory, when individuals devote resources to coping with the conflict between work and family, then the resources available for other things will decrease.…”

Personality Traits, Organizational Climate, Leadership Style and Job Satisfaction of Selected Government Employees in Aurora Zamboangadel Sur: A Correlational Study

“…Gender is highly correlated to personality traits, style tendency and leadership style. Education on the other hand is highly correlated to job satisfaction, personality traits, style tendency and job satisfaction.Study conducted by Ulucan (2017) pointed out that job satisfaction and work-family conflicts exhibited by physical education teachers are not significantly related each other. This means that the entities are independent and may not have direct effects against each other.…”

Work-Family Conflict and Family Satisfaction: Evidence From Small Enterprise Managers

“…The higher the score, the higher the conflict. The Cronbach Alpha for work-to-family conflict is 0.73 and that of the family-to-work conflict scale is 0.80 (Ulucan, 2017).…”
