THE INFLUENCE OF SOCIAL SUPPORT AND RESILIENCE ON WORK-FAMILY CONFLICT AMONG GHANAIAN WOMEN

ABSTRACT

This study examined the influence of social support and resilience on work-family conflict among Ghanaian women in the formal and informal sectors of work. Data was collected from 294 participants using standardised questionnaires. Five hypotheses were tested in the study using the two-way ANOVA and Standard Multiple regression tests. The results of the study showed that, sector of work significantly correlated to work-family conflict, with women in the formal sector experiencing higher work-family conflict than their counterparts in the informal sector. The study also showed that, social support was negatively and significantly correlated to work-family conflict; resilience was also found to be negatively and significantly correlated to work-family conflict. However, the interactive effect of social support and resilience on work-family conflict was not significant. Finally, women with younger children experienced significantly higher levels of work-family conflict than their counterparts with older children. The implications are discussed in the context of reduction in overall productivity, development and progress of the women workers.
