Özet:The current study was designed for two main purposes: first, to explore the motivational underpinnings of work-family conflict by utilizing Self-Determination Theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 1985, 2000), and second, to propose an integrative model involving both antecedents of work and family motivation (job characteristics, work support, spousal support, perceived control at home) and the basic consequences of work-family conflict (job satisfaction, job-related emotional exhaustion, family satisfaction, family-related emotional exhaustion, and life satisfaction). Exploring the moderating effects of work/family role identifications on the relationships between work-family conflict dimensions (W-to-FC and F-to-WC) and satisfaction outcomes was also another aim of the study. To accomplish these purposes, the study was undertaken in two stages. First, a pilot study was conducted to evaluate factorial structures and internal consistency of the study measures on 407 dual earner couples with at least one child younger than 18 years old. After confirming that scales had adequate psychometric properties, the main study was conducted to test the hypothesized relationships and associations proposed in the model. Analyses conducted on 405 dual earner couples with at least one child younger than 18 years old generally supported the proposed links. As expected, autonomous motivation toward work negatively predicted W-to-FC and autonomous motivation toward family negatively predicted F-to-WC. However, contrary to predictions, no interactive effects of motivation toward work and motivation toward family were found. Results were also insignificant with respect to the associations between work-family conflict dimensions and satisfaction outcomes. Findings were discussed, and the contributions and practical implications of the study were presented.
