Influence of the Work-Family Conflict on Organizational Cynicism and Intermediary Role of The Life Satisfaction

This study aims to identify the level of work-family conflict, life satisfactions and organizational cynicism of the families who are working in the tourism industry and to reveal the causal relationships between these phenomenon. According to the results of field work conducted in 2015 within the scope of this research with 427 employees from five star hotels operating in Antalya, the work-family conflict of the employees is moderate. While moderate results are achieved in the point of life satisfaction, it is determined that the organizational cynicism is relatively low. Hierarchical Regression Analysis was made in order to test the hypotheses which are established within the scope of this study’s purpose and theoretical framework. It is determined that work-family conflict is a predictor variable on the life satisfaction and cynicism. Another result reached through the study is that life satisfaction acts as a partial mediator between work-family conflict and organizational cynicism. Accordingly, it is seen that organizational cynicism which is caused by work-family conflict arises from its impacts on life satisfaction
