Objective: The aim of the present study was to examine work-family conflict and psychological empowerment as correlates and predictors of turnover intentions among married female doctors. It further aimed to identify significant differences in study variables among the sample in terms of the type of family system i.e., nuclear and joint. Materials and Methods: This correlational study analyzed a sample of 105 married female doctors aged 23-45 years (Mage=31.69; SD=5.20) working in different hospitals of Lahore, Pakistan. Participants completed Work-Family Conflict Scale, Psychological Empowerment Instrument and Turnover Intention Scale. Results and Discussion: Dimensions of work-family conflict had a significant positive relationship with turnover intentions. Furthermore, psychological empowerment had a significant negative relation with turnover intentions. Behavior-based family interference with work and psychological empowerment emerged as significant predictors of turnover intentions among the sample. No significant differences were found in study variables in terms of nuclear and joint family system. Conclusion: Implications of findings are discussed with reference to the medical profession.

CTE has been identified as a critical need area and therefore retention of secondary CTE teachers is of great importance. This study explored turnover intentions and work-family conflict of CTE teachers in Oregon. Teachers reported higher work interference with family (WIF) than family interference with work (FIW), but also reported moderately low turnover intentions. FIW was significantly higher in male teachers than females. Teachers reported intentions for leaving: (a) to move to an administrative position, (b) for personal reasons such as health, (c) to change teaching subject areas, and (d) for a more desirable job opportunity. WIF was a significant predictor of turnover intentions among the CTE teachers. The implications are discussed and recommendations for research and practice are explored.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the direct effects of job autonomy and co-worker support on job satisfaction, and the mediational role of work–family conflict (WFC) in the relationship between these job resources and job satisfaction in men and women. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional design was used. Participants (n=653) completed the WFC scale (Netemeyer et al., 1996), the job autonomy scale (Costigan et al., 2003), a scale of co-worker support (Sloan, 2012) and a new short multidimensional scale of job satisfaction. Findings Higher job autonomy and co-worker support contribute positively to job satisfaction in women and men. Co-worker support has an indirect effect on job satisfaction via WFC in women, but not in men. The WFC did not mediate the relationship between job autonomy and satisfaction in men and women. Originality/value This paper contributes to the research on the effects of job resources on WFC and job satisfaction, and on gender differences in the relationship between work and family.
