Abstract
The present study tries to explore and examine the relationships of time, strain, job satisfaction and work family conflict among Yemeni employees working in government organizations. The present study also aims to focus upon the moderating effects of supervisory support and gender on the relationships between the variables mentioned above and work-family conflict. This study seeks to contribute to the understandings of the work-family conflict by examining the impact of time, strain and job satisfaction on work-family conflict in government organization in Yemen. Five hypotheses were developed to study the impact of the independent variables (time, strain and job satisfaction) and moderating variables (supervisor support and gender) on the dependant variables (work-family conflict). Regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses while one way ANOVA and t-test were to evaluate demographic factors. A total of 200 questionnaires were distributed for the purpose of the present study. Based on the feedbacks from the 200 respondents, the study revealed that there was a positive relationship between time, strain and gender, and work-family conflict. The findings of the present study will encourage further examinations of work-family conflict and the additional research may provide a greater understanding of the phenomenon. It is hoped that the information gleaned from the present study may assist the Yemeni government organizations in designing appropriate policies and awareness programs related to work-family conflict.
