Influence of Work-Family Conflicts on Job Satisfaction in Ghanaian Banks

The paper takes its point of reference in the awareness that job demands in high growth industries can affect employees' ability to balance work and family roles, with implications for their productivity and job satisfaction. Consequently, it investigates how employees in the Ghanaian banking sector experience the effects of their work demands on their family roles, and strategies they adopt to cope with stressors within their work environments. It also explores the consequences of these experiences on their job satisfaction. The results suggest that the employees experience a greater degree of work-to-family conflicts than family-to-work conflicts. It is also evident that coping strategies that most employees adopt moderate the impact of the conflicts on their job satisfaction.
