چکیده (انگلیسی):

Satisfied employees are closely related with organizational success and performance, leading job satisfaction to become a key employee attitude. Employees feel greater satisfaction when they have freedom and independence to make work-related decisions. However, employees become dissatisfied with their job when they cannot balance their work and family lives due to competing demands. This study aims to investigate the mediating effect of work family conflict on the relationship between job autonomy and job satisfaction. The study was conducted with 270 participants. The study data was collected using Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire, Job Autonomy Scale and Work Family Conflict Scale. The study results demonstrated that job autonomy had a positive effect on job satisfaction, whereas work-family conflict had a negative mediating effect on this relationship between job autonomy and job satisfaction.
