Since 50 years, dual career couples has been remained an important subject for researchers in the western context, however there is no or very less number of studies have been carried out among Muslim dual career couples specifically in the context of Pakistani society. This study was planned to explore that how and to what extent Muslims dual career couples experience role conflict in managing work and family responsibilities. Role conflict was selected as independent variable and career satisfaction with three components like happiness, motivation and job involvement were selected as dependent variables. Data was collected on a three point Likert type scale from a total of 388 respondents while using snowball sampling techniques in the 6 targeted universities and 3 hospitals in district Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa of Pakistan. Data was analysed through SPSS at uni-variate and b-variate level. Considering findings of the descriptive statistics, it was found that our respondents experienced higher level of family to work and work to family conflict and a reduced career satisfaction. Regression and correlational analysis indicates that family to work and work to family conflict are significantly related with career happiness, motivation and job involvement of dual career couples in Pakistan. Besides, higher level of career satisfaction was positive and significantly attributed to career happiness, career motivation and job involvement of dual career couples. It is concluded from this study that dual career couples in a traditionally driven Pakistan society face significant challenges to integrate family life with their occupational role.
