Abstract

Based on previous research and survey, women (especially mothers) generally have lower job satisfaction than men (especially fathers). We suspect work-family conflict to be the main cause of this phenomenon. Based on previous studies, we also propose psychological capital as potential buffer to reduce work-family conflict’s negative effect. We examined the relationship of both work-family conflict’s directions (work interference with family and family interference with work) and job satisfaction, along with the moderating effect of psychological capital on 205 working mothers in vicinity of Jakarta. We distribute questionnaires containing the three instruments measuring our three variables. The results showed there was negative significant correlation between work interference with family and job satisfaction. There also was negative significant correlation between family interference with work and job satisfaction. For the moderating effect, results showed that psychological capital unable to moderate the relationship of both directions of work-family conflict and job satisfaction. The results implied that we should pay more attention to work-family conflict in order to prevent job satisfaction from decreasing. This research also have extended current researches about relationship between work-family conflict and job satisfaction by examined psychological capital’s potential as a buffer.
