Abstract

“The motivational climates in select service organisations were assessed to investigate the impact of motivational climate on work-family conflict and work-family enrichment. The data were collected from 455 employees through a survey using questionnaires and were analyzed.” The results revealed that organizational climates dominated by Achievement motive and Expert-influence motive led to work-family enrichment. The study found that an organizational climate dominated by Control motive led to work-family conflict. The study suggested that employees working in a functional organizational climate (Achievement and Expert Influence motives) would have more satisfaction which is instrumental in enriching their work and family life as well. Besides, employees who work in a dysfunctional organizational climate would experience negative outcomes like stress, and job and life dissatisfaction.
