The perceived effect of work and family on work performance of university faculty

The purposes of the study were to investigate perceived level of work satisfaction, family satisfaction, effect of work on work performance, and effect of home and family on work performance of faculty members at a university in Mindanao, Philippines. Data were also examined to determine whether selected independent variables influenced perceived effect of home and family on work performance. / The sample included 152 faculty members who were actively serving higher education at the university. The data were collected at regular faculty meetings using self-administered, Likert-type questionnaires. / Analysis of data was performed through the use of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSSX), Release 2.0 at the Florida State University (Nov. 1986). Basic statistics were obtained for all the variables. Factor analysis with principal component analysis and varimax rotation was used to generate subscales from the four home and family measures. One-way analysis of variance and Pearson product moment correlation were used to test the hypotheses at the.05 significance level. / Results reinforced previous findings of the strong positive correlation between the work and family domains. Respondents had a higher mean level of family satisfaction than work satisfaction. The mean level of faculty work and family satisfaction were not significantly different across discipline areas or college affiliation of faculty. Number of children was found to influence perceived effect of family on work performance, unlike age, sex, marital status, age of youngest child, employment of spouse, family income, perceived level of stress, rank, professional discipline area and years of service at the university. Faculty respondents having two or three children living at home perceived the effect of family on work as most positive, whereas respondents with four or five children at home perceived the effect of home and family as most negative. This study contributes to the cross-cultural literature in work and family and should be of interest to researchers, policy makers, academic leaders, and educators. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 52-03, Section: A, page: 0747. / Major Professor: Bonnie B.
