Work-Family and Family-Work Conflict and Turnover Intentions: The Mediating Effect of Well-Being

Abstract

This study aimed to study the effect of work-family conflict (WFC) and Family-work Conflict (FWC) on turnover intentions and whether this relationship is mediated by well-being. To this end it was hypothesized that: (1) WFC and FWC have a positive and significant effect on organizational turnover intentions; (2) WFC and FWC have a negative and significant effect on well-being; (3) well-being has a mediating effect on the relationship between WFC and FWC and turnover intentions. The sample of this study is composed of 313 participants working in organisations based in Portugal. The effect of WFC on turnover intentions and on wellbeing were confirmed. A partial mediating effect of well-being on the relationship between WFC and turnover intentions was also found.
