- Abstract
The aim of the present study is to test the Greenhaus and Allen (2011) model on work-family balance (WFB). The model was tested using a survey based methodology. An online questionnaire was administered and data was collected from academicians from higher education institutes in India (492 samples) and USA (293 samples). Partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS SEM) results showed that work-family conflict and work-family facilitation predicted job and family satisfaction. Similarly both types of satisfactions (job and family) predicted feelings of WFB, which in turn results in life satisfaction. In both samples, the model was found to have adequate predictive relevance and goodness of fit with the data. Thus, academicians working in higher educational institutions in India and USA can attain work-family balance by achieving job and family satisfaction. Similarly, job and family satisfaction decreased and increased due to conflict and facilitation respectively. Finally, this work showed that if academicians can achieve balance between work and family, they can attain satisfaction in life as a whole.
