Sažetak
There seems to be a lack of research examining the association of the discrepancy between different types of values and their realization with work-family conflict, work satisfaction, and life satisfaction, which was the aim of this study. The research was conducted on a sample of 176 employed marital partners (age range= 20- 64). 15 different values and their achievement were assessed. The results show that higher work-to-family conflict was experienced when there was a higher discrepancy between the importance of and actually having enough leisure time, which was one of the most valued and least actualized segments. Interestingly, none of the measured discrepancies were significantly correlated with family-to-work conflict in men, while various were significant for women (e.g. a happy family life). Higher life and job satisfaction was associated with a lower discrepancy between the importance and realization of certain work values, while this was not the case for men.
