The relationship of work-family conflict and quality of work life among female nurses in Medan

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between work-family conflict and the quality of work life among nurses in the city of Medan. The author hypothesized that higher level of work-family conflict would be associated with lower quality of work life. Participants were 105 female nurses from the city of Medan. We obtained the data using a questionnaire that measures work-family conflict and quality of work life. We analyzed the data using SPSS 17. The results showed a negative relationship between work-family conflict and quality of work life. Female nurses with higher work-family conflicts tended to have lower quality of work-life than those with lower work-family conflicts.
