ABSTRACT
Impact of Family Friendly Policies
This is an educational research paper basically to understand the effect of job stress on
employees. The major objective of the study is to under stand the impact of family friendly
policies on job satisfaction and turnover intention in banking industry of Pakistan. We
comprehended that most of the employees wanted to have five day work policy implemented in
the bank as they are stressed out due to long working hours.
Purpose of the study
The purpose of this study is to look at the impact of family friendly policy on
employees’ job satisfaction and turnover intention in banking industry of Pakistan.
Research Questions
1) There is positive relationship between family friendly policies and employees’ job
satisfaction.
2) There is negative relationship between family friendly policies and employees’
turnover intention.
3) There is positive relationship between employee’s job satisfaction and turnover
intention.
4) Job satisfaction as a mediator between family friendly policies and turnover
intention.
Impact of Family Friendly Policies
Literature Review:
Rapid industrialization and economic investments have given Pakistan an exposure to better
and improved life styles and living standards. Information blast has unveiled many previously
neglected spheres of better, healthier and longer lives. At the same time, the line dividing family life
and work life has gradually blurred. Pakistan being a collectivist country, has always shared the
norms and values of male breadwinner/ female-homemaker model.
Work-Life Conflicts
Work-life conflicts exist when the line separating the work and personal/family activities
becomes diffused and blur. This work-life conflict can originate in the home or in the work
environment (Frone, Yardley, & Markel, 1997). Work-life conflict is often the result of having too
many things to do and too little time in which to do them (Greenhaus & Beutell, 1985; Voydanoff,
2002) since work schedules tend to be less flexible than personal schedules Eagle, Miles, & Icenogle
(1997). Consequently Greenhaus & Parasuraman (1999) found work is more likely the cause of
work-to-life conflicts. Work and life can not be treated as separate domains. Changes in one almost
always affect the other. Spending more time with family, for instance should require spending less
time working. The above situation becomes grimmer when according to some writers irrespective of
the antecedents of the work-life and life-work conflicts; an increase in one typically leads to an
increase in the other (Frone et al. 1997).
Organizational Culture: The quality of the social environment in the workplace is
associated with stress Cooper & Marshall (1976). The above review of literature
suggests that healthier culture makes work more enjoyable instead of strenuous thus leading
to a trivial desire to reduce work hours.
Work Hours: Work hours can be defined as, “the result of the interplay of three factors:
hours per week demanded by the employer, hours per week desired by the worker and the
institutional and legal environment”. Long work hours may impair personal health and jeopardize
safety both directly and indirectly (Spurgeon, Harrington and Cooper, 1997).
Impact of Family Friendly Policies
Elder & Child Care: Leaving children at day care or home while parents work may
result in serious concerns like safety, health, learning, supervision and nurturance. The findings of
Bailyn et al., (n.d.) suggested that families alone cannot change the structure of careers nor alter the
availability of child care. And when families experience crises, whether financial or personal,
external supports are needed.
It is widely believed that workers with preschool or grade school children will be
especially interested in reducing their hours, particularly if they (like many women) are
responsible for child care and household tasks. On the contrast, the desire for fewer work hours of is
only weakly related to having children (Clarkberg & Moen, 2001; Jacobs & Gerson, 2000; or an
employed spouse (Jacobs & Gerson, 2000).
FAMILY FRIENDLY ORGANIZATIONAL POLICES
One of the most dramatic demographic changes of the past thirty years has been the surge
of women, including mothers, into the workforce. This social revolution has given rise to a
feminist critique of existing workplace structures geared to an "ideal worker" who is able and
willing to devote himself single-mindedly to paid employment (Williams 2000).
Calling for reforms that make it easier to combine employment with family life, critics
seek to create a workplace that is more welcoming to employees with family responsibilities
(Williams 2000; Hochschild 1989, 1997).The "wish list" of features for the new family-friendly
workplace includes, among other things, shorter, more predictable, and more flexible working
hours; new part-time and job-sharing options; time off for emergencies and child care;
guaranteed leave with job security for childbearing and child rearing; child care subsidies and tax
breaks; and on-sight day care options (Alstott 2004; Jacobs and Gerson 2004).
The calls for reform have created dilemmas for private actors and for governments alike.
Corporations in their function as employers must confront the issue of whether and how to ease
the difficulties employees experience in discharging their duties on the job and at home.
Governments must decide how to intervene. They must determine whether and when to enact
regulations forcing private actors to accommodate family needs (Amy 2004). Private actors and
Impact of Family Friendly Policies
governments must also grapple with how and to what extent to mitigate the disadvantages that
commonly accrue to individuals who fall short of the traditional "ideal worker" model. One
particularly nettlesome issue is how pro- posed reforms should affect compensation and
prospects for promotion and advancement. Although there is widespread acceptance that pay
should reflect hours worked, it is unclear how work rewards and career trajectories should be
adjusted to reflect differential use of family-friendly policies (Amy 2004).
In developing approaches that could show the way to family-friendly reform, one
important consideration is whether proposed workplace changes are efficient or more
efficient than existing arrangements. If the answer to this question is positive, it follows
that proposed reforms will increase net social welfare, which will make society better off overall
(Amy 2004).The workplace is a highly interactive setting. Workers and manager do not operate
in isolation. Each participant's behavior affects the well- being of others who work in the same
firm or even the same industry. Payoffs or rewards to workers depend on what other workers do
and on the range of choices that firms offer. Any particular move will tend to set off responses in
other work- place actors (Estlund 2003).
EMPLOYEE TURNOVER INTENTIONS
A concentration on determining the causes of employee intentions to stay or leave has
been one of the recent research approaches in the organizational turnover literature (Thomas &
Martin,1979) However only recently has attention been drawn to the importance of gaining an
understanding of the potential impact of job performance on employee turnover processes (Steers
& Mowday, 1981)
It is also important to consider that the significance of turnover to an organization is
dependent on the performance levels of those who stay versus those who leave (Staw, 1980).
Also as a case in point, if the organization is losing its poorer performers, turnover may indeed
be having a positive effect on overall organizational effectiveness (Ellen, 1984).
Impact of Family Friendly Policies
The study of turnover recognizes that one action for individuals who are trying to get
away from an undesirable work situation is to look first within the current organization (Alfred,
1967), and then beyond to other organizations. Recent research has supported the inclusion of
movement within as well as across organizations in turnover research (Ellen, 1984). According
to Todor (1980) evidence shows that workers transfer jobs to get away from an undesirable work
situation. Individuals who did transfer or who requested transfer were less satisfied and had a
greater intention to quit than did employees who had remained on the same job and not requested
a transfer. At certain levels of performance, job satisfaction, for example, would be more
strongly related to turnover than at other levels of performance (Ellen, 1984). However from a
practical standpoint, the potential influence of job performance in the prediction of turnover is
significant (Ellen, 1984).
The most obvious consequence of turnover is the energy and expense of finding
replacement personnel. When someone leaves an organization others must be recruited, screened
through some selection mechanism, and finally hired. If large numbers of people leave an
organization on a regular basis, the organization will most likely have adapted to this
consequence by retaining full-time specialists in recruitment and selection, thereby increasing its
administrative intensity (Kasarda, 1973).
JOB SATISFACTION
Job satisfaction is one of the best-researched concepts in work and organizational
psychology for at least two reasons. Job satisfaction is relevant for all those who are interested in
the subjective evaluation of working conditions such as responsibility, task variety, or
communication requirements (e.g., Hackman and Oldham, 1980) because job satisfaction is
supposed to be strongly caused by such conditions. The significance of personality dispositions
in the development of job satisfaction has been subjected to much criticism and inspired an
intensive discussion in the literature during recent years (e.g., Arvey et al., 1989)
Measuring job satisfaction for organizational assessment, for example, work design or
organizational climate, would be questionable. Instead, based on the trait-like character of job
Impact of Family Friendly Policies
satisfaction, one would tend to follow suggestions to use individuals' job satisfaction in
personnel selection procedures (Staw et al, 1986) because highly satisfied people would be also
satisfied in the future. Job satisfaction may be affected by emotion-related personality traits
because job satisfaction has been equated with a pleasurable emotional state (Locke,1976).The
working conditions in turn affect job satisfaction. In other words, the effect of personality
dispositions on job satisfaction is mediated by working conditions. This may either take place via
self-selection and career decisions made by the individual or by selection and promotion by the
organization (Dormann & Zapf, 2001).
In contrast to other mechanisms, the usefulness of job satisfaction for evaluation purposes
is not threatened if selection due to personality dispositions applies because job satisfaction is a
reaction to working conditions (Dormann & Zapf, 2001).
Data and Methods
Methodology
Structured questionnaire (with both open-ended and close-ended questions) was designed
as research instrument. A total of 40 questionnaires were circulated in 2 different branches of
Bank ABL in Islamabad. Thirty Four questionnaires have been accounted for findings. Due to
the minimal interference at the banks, the study was conducted in a natural environment, and
therefore, can be coined as non-contrived setting or field study. As far as choice of bank for
survey is concern, non-probability convenience sampling was used. Within that convenience
sample, a purposive random sample method was employed in order to cover heterogeneity and
diversity. Interviews were also conducted with the managers of the bank and observation was
also implied as a method for conducting research.
