An Effect of Work-Family Conflict on Turnover Intention and Organizational Commitment

Abstract

Abstract The primary objective of this study is to investigate the factors that influence work-family conflict and to identify the relationships between the factors and organizational commitment and turnover intention. In addition, we investigate the moderating effect of need for achievement, need for power, and perceived organizational support on the relationships. The research results show that work-family conflict has significant and negative effect on organizational commitment. On the other hand, work-family conflict has significant and positive effect on turnover intention. Need for achievement and need for power play a moderating role between work-family conflict and organizational commitment and work-family conflict and turnover intention. The conclusions and implications are discussed.
