Abstract
A research was undertaken to explore the work-family conflict faced by teachers of Lahore
College for Women University, a public sector University. A Survey based Cross Sectional
Research Design was used for the study. The data was obtained through different scales namely
Work-Family Conflict Scale by Kopelman, Greenhaus and Connolly (1983), Job Stress Scale
by Parker and Decotlis (1983), Job Satisfaction Scale by Schriesheim and Tsu l (1980) and a
demographic sheet were administered. Descriptive and Inferential Statistics was applied on
data of 300 female University teachers. The SPSS version 20 was employed for data analysis.
The major findings of the study revealed that Work-Family Conflict and Job Stress seem to be
negatively related. Regression Analysis further added that the level of Job
Satisfaction is influenced by the variables of Work-Family Conflict and Job Stress of
University female teachers. The demographic variables of Age and Income showed negative
correlations with Job Satisfaction while Experience showed a positive relationship. Results also
showed that Job Satisfaction among teachers having less job experience (1-5 years) is
significantly different from teachers having more (5 years and more) experience. Implications
that can be made from this study could be that in order to make employees satisfied with their
jobs in academic environment; there is a strong need for a stress free environment in all
departments of the university.
