An Examination of a Work-Life Conflict Model in Higher Education
Main Article Content
Abstract
The authors of this study investigated a model of the predictive connections between work-family conflict (WFC), family-work conflict (FWC), burnout, career commitment, and job satisfaction among faculty in higher education institutions. The Conservation of Resources (COR) theory is adopted to explain and confirm the links between WFC, FWC, burnout, and career commitment in a sample of 213 faculty members. Findings revealed that WFC and FWC had a positive effect on job burnout. Burnout was also found to be a negative predictor of both career commitment and job satisfaction. Lastly, job satisfaction positively predicted faculty members career commitment. Implications for practice and future research recommendations for faculty and administrators are also discussed.
