The Relationship Between Work/Nonwork Role Conflict and Job-Related Outcomes: Some Unanticipated Findings

The Relationship Between Work/Nonwork Role Conflict and Job-Related Outcomes: Some Unanticipated... This study investigated the relationship between multiple dimensions of work/nonwork role conflict andfour personal and job-related outcomes. It was predicted that the work!nonwork role conflict variables would be negatively related to job and life satisfaction, job involvement, and organizational commitment. Results indicated that various aspects of role conflict are significantly related to work outcomes, but not always in the expected fashion. Specifically, conflict between job andfamily roles was negatively associated with satisfaction measures as predicted, but was positively related to job involvement and organizational commitment. The findings suggest that certain job-related attitudes may result in increased levels of interrole conflict. Implications for theory and practice are discussed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Management SAGE

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between multiple dimensions of work/nonwork role conflict andfour personal and job-related outcomes. It was predicted that the work!nonwork role conflict variables would be negatively related to job and life satisfaction, job involvement, and organizational commitment. Results indicated that various aspects of role conflict are significantly related to work outcomes, but not always in the expected fashion. Specifically, conflict between job andfamily roles was negatively associated with satisfaction measures as predicted, but was positively related to job involvement and organizational commitment. The findings suggest that certain job-related attitudes may result in increased levels of interrole conflict. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
