Work-family conflict, demographic characteristics and job satisfaction among ghanaian corporate leaders

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between the construct of work-family conflicts (WFC) and job satisfaction as well as the differences between the demographic characteristics and WFC with reference to the leadership of Ghanaian businesses. 100 Ghanaian corporate leaders from business organizations in the Accra Metropolis participated in a comprehensive cross-sectional survey which considered multiple scales across WFC domains. Pearson correlation coefficient, Independent sample t-test and One-way ANOVA were used to test the hypotheses. The results indicate that work-to-family and family-to-work conflict has a negative effect on managers' job satisfaction and age was seen to have positive relationship with conflicts emanating from work-to-family.
