Abstract

This investigation tests the impact of work-to-family and family-to-work enrichment on job satisfaction and affective commitment. Also, it analyzes the impact of job satisfaction on affective commitment and the impact of job satisfaction and affective commitment on turnover intention. The investigation is based on a Spanish multisectoral sample of employed workers. The results confirmed all the model relationships except the impact of work-to-family enrichment on job satisfaction and affective commitment. Nor did they confirm the association between job satisfaction and turnover intention. Furthermore, managerial implications are derived to curb turnover intention through family-friendly policies that promote affective commitment and job satisfaction by means of work-family enrichment.
