Hotel employees, in recent times, put in more effort at work, working for long hours and even on holidays and weekends. As a result, they find it difficult to efficiently meet the demands of both their work and personal life. This study used a cross-sectional research design to examine work-family conflict and its effects on job satisfaction and life satisfaction of hotel staff. The study also sought to examine the moderating effect of gender on the relationships between work-family conflict, job satisfaction and life satisfaction. A diverse sample of 286 respondents, conveniently selected, completed a structured questionnaire. Generally, the results of a PLS-SEM analysis showed that work-family conflict is not significantly related to job satisfaction but with employees’ life satisfaction. Specifically, work-to-family conflict has no significant relationship with job satisfaction whereas work-to-family and family-to-work conflict were uniquely associated with life satisfaction. The interference of family demands with the work of a hotel employee positively affects life satisfaction irrespective of the gender of employees. However, job satisfaction significantly relates to life satisfaction. Gender fully moderated employee work interfering with family and job satisfaction relationship. Theoretical and practical implications as well as directions for future studies were discussed in the paper.

This study examines the effect of inter-role conflict between the family and business domains among operators of small businesses and family-owned businesses. Findings indicate that work-family conflict can significantly affect both job and life satisfaction of owners as well as their propensity to seek a new line of work. Results vary among owners depending on whether or not they work with other members of their immediate family. Owners that employ other family members experience significantly higher levels of work-family conflict.

This paper examines whether the work-family conflict (related to both work-interfering-family and family-interfering-work) of auditors affects their performance and if so, whether the effect is mediated by emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction. A mail survey is used to deliver a questionnaire to 151 auditors from ten CPA firm in Indonesia. The result shows that emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction fully mediates the relationship of work-family conflict with job performance. The result also demonstrates that Work-Interfering-Family (WIF) has significant effects on emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction, but Family-Interfering-Work (FIW) has no significant influence on either emotional exhaustion or job satisfaction. This study suggests that maintaining a regular training program for auditors, having flexible working arrangements, and encouraging a healthy lifestyle may help to reduce the work-family conflict and will increase the job satisfaction and performance of auditors.
