    Work Demands, Work-Family Conflict, And Commitment Amongst Nurses In Eswatini
    (2023) Nkambule, Ntombikayise; Bagraim, Jeffrey
    Work-family conflict is an inter-role conflict where the demands of work spill over to the family domain and cause interference between the work and family domains. Work-family conflict can present adverse outcomes to the organisation, such as impacting the commitment to stay with an organisation. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between work-family conflict and job demands. The study also investigated the relationship between work-family conflict and the two organisational commitment dimensions: continuance commitment and affective commitment. In addition, the role of gender was examined to ascertain the differences in workfamily conflict for females and males. A quantitative approach was used to collect data and test the statistical relationship among the study variables. An online survey questionnaire was sent to 564 Nurses in all the public and mission hospitals in Eswatini, with 455 Nurses participating in the study. Pearson's correlation analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between variables of work-family conflict, job demands, continuance commitment, affective commitment, and professional commitment. The study findings showed a positive relationship between work-family conflict and job demands, a negative relationship between work-family conflict and affective commitment, and a positive relationship between work-family conflict and continuance commitment. An independent t-test analysis examined the relationship between work-family conflict and gender. The results showed no significant differences in work-family conflict for females and males.
