Abstract Details

2011, Master of Arts (M.A.), Xavier University, Psychology.
The purpose of this study was to focus on the relationship between supervisor support for Work-Life Balance (WLB) and job attitudes (i.e., overall job satisfaction, supervisor satisfactions, work demand satisfaction, quality of work satisfactions, and intent to leave). This study also considered the gender differences between perceptions of supervisor support for WLB and how gender had an influence on the relationship between feeling support and intent to leave. The data were collected from 161 healthcare system units throughout the United States, consisting of 186,442 participants. Results of the study indicated that perceptions of supervisor support for WLB was positively related to overall job satisfaction, supervisor satisfaction, work demand satisfactions, and quality of work satisfaction, and negatively related to intent to leave. Results also indicated significant gender differences in perceptions of supervisor support for WLB and that gender had an influence on the relationship between feeling supported and intent to leave. These results highlight the importance of perceptions of supervisor support for WLB and the impact this may have on job attitudes. These results also provide important insight into the evolution of WLB research in that the perceptions of supervisor support for WLB are virtually the same for both males and females.
