Abstract
The aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between work-family
enrichment and job satisfaction, as well as the moderator effect of work
schedule flexibility into this relationship. Work-family enrichment is one
of the most important dimensions of work-family balance and represents
the positive side of work-family interface, it refers to how work and
family benefit each other. Data were collected through an own
elaborated survey based on contrasted scientific scales and was applied to
university teachers from the Faculty of Economics and Financial
Sciences of Juan Misael Saracho Autonomous University in Bolivia. A
linear regression analysis was conducted in order to test the hypotheses.
Results indicate that work-family enrichment is positively related to job
satisfaction, but family-work enrichment has no relation with job
satisfaction. Furthermore, work schedule flexibility is positively
moderating the relationship between work-family enrichment and job
satisfaction, even making also relevant the impact of family-work
enrichment on faculty satisfaction. Findings could be helpful inputs to
design and implement policies concerning to work-family balance and
work schedule flexibility, in order to improve faculty satisfaction.
