Abstract
The work and family frontier have constituted a domain with series of arguments over the years; and this is due to the pertinence of events emanating from both ends. Owning to this fact, this current study investigated work-family intersection as a predictor of employees’ job satisfaction in WAMCO plc, Lagos State with the spillover theory underpinning the study. A sampling frame of one hundred and sixty-five (165) was obtained from a population of two hundred and nine (209) employees using a combination of both probabilistic and non-probabilistic sampling techniques. The outcome of the study reflected that there was a positive and significant association between role overload and employees’ psychological well-being with “(r=0.832, p-value<0.05)”; emotional exhaustion was also found to have significant influence on employees’ psychological strain with “(R2 0.926 p=.000)”. The study concluded that having an in-depth understanding of the intricacies of work and family intersection and its significance on employees’ job satisfaction helps in establishing greater awareness and how such can be prevented to enhance employees’ psychological and mental state while balancing the work and home fronts. Thus, the study recommended that organizational culture of WAMCO plc should be predicated on the agenda towards improving employees’ job satisfaction as a means of fostering their social support.
