Abstract

The study examined the effect of work-family conflict on job and family satisfaction among university junior staff in Ghana. It further tested the moderating role of gender on the relationship between work-family conflict dimensions and job and family satisfaction. A quantitative approach was adopted. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed to select 339 respondents. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. The results revealed a negative effect of work-family conflict on both job satisfaction and family satisfaction. Further analysis showed that gender moderates the relationship between work-family conflict (FIW) and family satisfaction. Recommendations are made to the University authorities and employees on how to minimize the negative effects of work-family which can lead to better job and family satisfaction in this paper.

Keywords: work-family conflict, job satisfaction, family satisfaction, gender, junior staff
