Abstract :

    The purpose of this study was to test the proposed model for the effect of work-family conflict and work-family enrichment on the turnover intention and psychology well-being: The mediating role of work-life balance. The participants of this study were 363 employees of NIDC, in Ahvaz (222 male; 141 female) that were selected simple random sampling. The instruments which used in this study were work-family conflict scale, work-family enrichment scale, work-life balance, turnover intention and job satisfaction scale, family satisfaction scale and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) were applied in wellbeing assessment. The assessment of the proposed model was examined through structural equation modeling (SEM), using SPSS-22 and AMOS-22 software packages. The indirect effects were tested using the bootstrap procedure in Preacher and Hayes (2008) SPSS Macro program for multiple mediation. The results showed that the proposed model has a high statistical fitting. Better fit obtained by using Amose-22 modification indices. Twelve hypotheses have been confirmed in this study.
