Abstract

Compared with employees who work in an environment perceived as providing little family support, research findings show that those who work in an environment with strong family support report less work-family conflict (Lapierre et al., 2008), lower levels of job stress (Bozo, Toksabay, & Kürüm, 2009) and of turnover intention (Aminah & Zoharah, 2010). Employees who experience high levels of work-family conflict have also reported high levels of job stress (Kreiner, 2006) and increased intention to leave the organization (Pasewark & Viator, 2006).
