Sažetak
Purpose: The aim was to examine the direct effects of job autonomy and co-worker support on job satisfaction, and the mediational role of work- family conflict in the relationship between these job resources and job satisfaction in men and women. Design/methodology/approach: A cross-sectional design was used. Participants (N=653) completed the Work-Family Conflict Scale (Netemeyer et al., 1996), the Job Autonomy Scale (Costigan et al., 2003), a scale of co-worker support (Sloan, 2012), and a new Short Multidimensional Scale of Job Satisfaction. Findings: Higher job autonomy and co-worker support contribute positively to job satisfaction in women and men. Co-worker support has an indirect effect on job satisfaction via work-family conflict in women, but not in men. The work- family conflict did not mediate the relationship between job autonomy and satisfaction in men and women. Originality/value: This paper contributes to the research on the effects of job resources on work-family conflict and job satisfaction, and on gender differences in the relationship between work and family.
