Impact of Work-Family Conflicts on Organizational Commitment of Professional Individuals

Abstract

This comprehensive study aims to explore the impact of Work-Family Conflicts on the organizational commitment of professional individuals. A sample of 102 professionals, consisting of 60 males and 42 females was collected and analyzed using correlational analysis and regression analysis. The findings revealed a significant weak negative correlation (r=-0.317) between the combined measure of work-family conflicts and organizational commitment. Additionally, the regression analysis also revealed that both work-family conflicts were significant predictors of organizational commitment. This indicates that individuals experiencing higher levels of conflict in work and family domains exhibit lower levels of commitment to their organizations, thus as the degree of conflict in work and family increases, the organizational commitment tends to decrease among professional individuals and vice versa. Moreover, p < .001 indicates a strong statistical significance among the two variables. These findings highlight the importance of considering an individual’s work-family and family-work conflict experiences when understanding and measuring their organizational commitment. The study recommends a reevaluation of the ways in which organizational techniques should incorporate family environment and dynamics when formulating policies and practices with regards to workplace strategies, so as to manage and lessen the degree of work-family and family-work conflict experienced by professional individuals, thereby increasing organizational commitment.
