The Relationship

Purpose The purpose of this study is to confirm that work to family conflict (W to FC), family to work conflict (F to WC) and work family balance (WFB) are the predictors of job satisfaction (JS) for Malaysian academic community. To achieve the fundamental objective, the authors first test the direct (structural model) effects of W to FC and F to WC on JS. Secondly, using mediation model, the indirect effects of WFB were calculated through W to FC, F to WC and JS. Design/methodology/approach Using convenience sampling, the data was collected from 280 academic people who work at private universities in Malaysia. Structural equation modelling technique was applied to complete the data analyses procedures. Findings The findings revealed that W to FC and F to WC have negative significant effects on JS. Besides, WFB partially mediates only the relationship between W to FC and JS while no mediation effect was found for F to WC and JS. Research limitations/implications All the research variables in this study were individual-level variables, thus it is suggested to use some organizational and national level variables such as religion and culture as they might be good intervening variables for predicting JS. Practical implications Using the findings of this research, the Malaysian private universities community can take some necessary initiatives to mitigate work family conflict (W-FC) and ensure WFB and JS that might enhance the standard of higher education in Malaysia. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first attempt to test the mediation effect of WFB in the relationship between both directions of W-FC and JS of employees from the perspective of Malaysia (a collectivist community).

Herzberg's Theory

The study aims to test the significance of Herzberg’s theory in the field of academics. The study also aims to measure the differences in the satisfaction levels of academicians towards their job on the basis of the location of their home town, that is, from Northeast and other parts of the country. The study is primary in nature and data have been collected with the help of a self-developed questionnaire. The sample units consisted of 478 academicians estimating around 30 per cent of the total academicians working in the central universities of Northeast India. Researchers have used multiple regression analysis, step-wise regression analysis and t-test in the study. It was found from the study that Herzberg’s two-factor theory can be successfully applied to the academics’ job satisfaction. Both the motivation and hygiene factors have been found to be positively and significantly related to job satisfaction. It has been found from the study that there is a significant difference in the satisfaction level of academicians towards the motivation and hygiene factors of job satisfaction due to the difference in their home town. Academicians whose home town is in the Northeast are found to be highly satisfied towards the motivation and hygiene factors than the academicians whose home town is in other parts of the country.
