Role of Work–Family Enrichment in Improving Life Satisfaction of Women Academicians in Higher Education

Ms. N. Gayathri, Dr. P. Karthikeyan

Abstract :

This study proposes a theoretical model in which work–family enrichment functioned as the mediator between work support (support from supervisor, co–workers, organization), family support (friends and family members) and life satisfaction. The inclusion of work to family enrichment extends prior research and allows for a more detailed assessment of the effects of work support and family support which enriches both the work and family, leading to a consequence of life satisfaction. Simple linear regression is used to measure the relationship between work support, family support, workfamily enrichment, family– work enrichment and life satisfaction. Work support and family– work enrichment showed positive significance compared to family support and work– family enrichment.
