  • Abstract:
  • This study examines the impact of the work-family interface on job satisfaction among healthcare professionals in India, an area that has received limited attention in the burgeoning field of work-life balance research within the context of developing countries. The work-family interface, encompassing both work-family conflict and work-family enrichment, plays a crucial role in determining healthcare professionals' job satisfaction levels. Using a quantitative research approach, the study surveys a diverse group of healthcare professionals across various specialties and regions in India. The findings highlight a significant relationship between the work-family interface and job satisfaction. Specifically, higher levels of work-family conflict are associated with lower job satisfaction, whereas work-family enrichment appears to enhance job satisfaction. The study also identifies several factors that mediate and moderate this relationship, including organizational support, flexible working hours, and the availability of childcare facilities. These findings underscore the importance of supportive workplace policies and practices that facilitate a better balance between professional and personal life, ultimately contributing to higher job satisfaction and better overall well-being for healthcare professionals. The implications of these results are discussed in light of policy development and management practices within the Indian healthcare sector.
