Investigating Work Family Experiences of Workaholic Women with Moderating Effect of Family Support

Abstract

Though the work is an important component of life but most of the time especially female employees view it as a passion and forget to pay attention to their own health, family and entertainment. The purpose of this study was to investigate work family experiences of workaholic women with moderation effect of family support through underpinning conservation of resources theory (COR) in banking sector of Pakistan. Total sample size was 110. The Smart PLS version 3.2.8 was used to assess the structural model measurement. Structural model measurement comprised of Path co-efficient (R2) within the limit whereas the P values for workaholism and work family conflict is significant. Similarly, the moderation effect of family support also significant and hence both hypotheses were accepted. The model shows adequate predicative accuracy (Q2) within the threshold value. The study has implication for the banking sector in Pakistan to understand that their workaholic behavior is a productive and valuable phenomenon that needs to be rewarded and addressed ethically and negative outcome can be neutralized through social intervention like family support. However, the future study needs to explore other specific work-related social support as moderation on work family conflict with large sample size and different context.
