Work-Family Conflict and Organizational Commitment: A study of University Teachers

Abstract

    The purpose of this study was to see if there was an association between work-family conflict and organizational commitment in university teachers. It was a quantitative research study that used a correlational research methodology, which means that no variables were modified and were instead revealed as they were. Teachers at the University of Education Lahore were the study's subjects. Carlson's Work-Family Conflict Scale (WFCS) and Allen and Meyer's Employee Commitment Survey (ECS) were adapted with their consent. The census sampling method was used. The instrument was delivered among 336 teachers, and 216 questionnaires were returned, resulting in a 64 percent return rate. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Teachers were discovered to be dealing with work-family conflict while remaining dedicated to their organization. There was a negative association between the variables. The researcher suggests that this study be expanded using qualitative data.
