Article: An integrative model to explore the relationship of work-family interface with organisational commitment Journal: International Journal of Human Resources Development and Management (IJHRDM) 2020 Vol.20 No.2 pp.166 - 177 Abstract: An integrative model of the work-family interface with organisational commitment is developed and tested. The model stands as an expansion of various other work-family models from the review of literature. The study has tried to integrate various assumptions of work and family to design this model. First, the model has attempted to evaluate the mediation effect of work satisfaction and family satisfaction between work-family conflict, work-family enrichment and work-family balance. Second, the understanding of the relations between work-family conflict, work-family enrichment and work-family satisfaction on work-family balance has been differentiated. Finally, the direct and indirect path effectiveness in increasing the organisational commitment with the help of work-family interfaces is incorporated into the model. Data are obtained from a sample of 410 medical sales representatives who were male and married using snowball sampling. Satisfaction has a positive effect on the relationship between work-family conflict, work-family enrichment and work-family balance. The conceptual model with indirect path shows that less conflict at work is associated with high job satisfaction, high enrichment and positive family satisfaction towards work and family.

Abstract: An integrative model of the work-family interface with organisational commitment is developed and tested. The model stands as an expansion of various other work-family models from the review of literature. The study has tried to integrate various assumptions of work and family to design this model. First, the model has attempted to evaluate the mediation effect of work satisfaction and family satisfaction between work-family conflict, work-family enrichment and work-family balance. Second, the understanding of the relations between work-family conflict, work-family enrichment and work-family satisfaction on work-family balance has been differentiated. Finally, the direct and indirect path effectiveness in increasing the organisational commitment with the help of work-family interfaces is incorporated into the model. Data are obtained from a sample of 410 medical sales representatives who were male and married using snowball sampling. Satisfaction has a positive effect on the relationship between work-family conflict, work-family enrichment and work-family balance. The conceptual model with indirect path shows that less conflict at work is associated with high job satisfaction, high enrichment and positive family satisfaction towards work and family.
