Abstract

The study was conducted with the intention to determine any link between work attitudes like organizational commitment (affective and continuation commitment), work-related contentment, and work-family conflict of married healthcare professionals. The study investigated the differences of work-family conflict in single-earner and dual-earner couples. Work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict were assessed using the Work and Family Conflict Scale (10 items). Revised version of the Employee Commitment Survey (12-item) was opted to determine affective and continuance commitment of employees. Short Index of Job Satisfaction (6-item) was utilized to assess job satisfaction level of the employees. The association between the study variables was assessed using Pearson correlational analysis. Multiple linear regression analysis carried out to see how well continuance commitment, affective commitment and job satisfaction can predict work-family conflict and t-test was performed to see the single and dual-earner couples' differences. Analysis demonstrated that work-family conflict negatively correlates with satisfaction at job r= -.233 with p<0.01 and affective commitment r= -.246 with p<0.01. Job satisfaction also has negative correlation with affective commitment r= -.456 with p<0.01. Job satisfaction and affective commitment are negatively associated with work-family conflict, but continuation commitment is found to be a positive predictor. The research found no significant variation in work family conflict of singleearner and dual-earner couples of healthcare professionals (doctors).
