The influence of organizational culture and shared leadership on work-family conflict and employee job satisfaction

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the influence of organizational culture and shared leadership on work-family conflict (WFC) and employee job satisfaction, within the context of businesses in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. A survey was conducted involving 592 employees, and linear structural equation modeling (SEM) was utilized for data analysis. With the exception of the negative impact of external orientation culture value and task-oriented leadership style on job satisfaction, the study revealed that organizational cultural values and shared leadership have a favorable impact on reducing WFC and enhancing employee job satisfaction. A noteworthy discovery from this research is that organizational cultural values and shared leadership style not only mitigate WFC but also foster higher employee job satisfaction. As a result, it is recommended that enterprises prioritize the development of organizational cultural values and shared leadership models to bolster job satisfaction, increase employee loyalty, and consequently, enhance overall firm performance.
