Work-Family Conflict and Satisfaction: Does Gender Matters?
Abstract
This article aims to explain the importance of gender in work-family conflict and job satisfaction. Work-family conflict may be impacted by job demands and stress. The conflict between work and family can put a strain on employees internally. Research on work and family conflict began several decades ago, but due to the rise in the number of dual-earning families, it is now more pertinent than ever. The primary goal of this study is to determine the influence of gender on work-family conflict and job satisfaction. The research design for this study involved the quantitative method of convenience sampling and survey questionnaires that were developed based on a thorough and detailed analysis of the relevant literature. The researcher established the significance of gender and its functions in work-family conflict based on the study. Gender has also been found to have an impact on job satisfaction. The study's findings highlight the gender variations in work-family conflict. The distinctive role of gender and its significance in work-family conflict are identified by this study. The study also focuses on the job satisfaction of genders based on the work-family conflict they faced. The implications of this study were discussed.
