Consequences of work-family conflict among married employees in UAE

Abstract EN

This study addressed some consequences of work-family conflict among married employees in two Emirates of the UAE.

Emphasis was on career satisfaction, family satisfaction, and job satisfaction.

The study used a questionnaire to collect the needed data from 236 married employees working for health organizations, banks, insurance companies, and educational institutions.

Collected data were analyzed using OLS regression.

The results of the regression analysis indicated significant negative effects for work-to-family conflict on employees’ career satisfaction.

However, work-to-family conflict had no effect on family satisfaction or job satisfaction.

The results also showed significant negative effect for family-to-work conflict on family satisfaction and job satisfaction.
