Work-Family Interference and Satisfaction Among Indian Women

The study examined the relationship of work-family interference with two aspects of satisfaction: Work and family. Data were gathered by means of a questionnaire administered to a sample of 300 married Indian working women, who were predominantly Hindus. The women represented a wide variety of occupations and voluntarily participated in the research. Results indicate a negative relationship of role interference with both aspects of satisfaction that is, family and work, regardless of occupational status. Implications of the findings both for researchers and for policy makers are discussed.
