Assessment of the Provision of Family Supportive Organization: Self-report Among Teachers
Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 13
Abstract
Provision of family supportive workplace is crucial to maintain sustainability of organisation. The main objective of this study was to assess the employees’ perceptions regarding the extent their workplace is family supportive. Participants were forty-six (46) teachers in Klang Valley and surrounding states who were drawn based on purposive sampling from March to October 2016. Self-report, structured with open-ended and closed ended questions was distributed to the participants to gather the data. The findings include the aspects of work arrangement, recognition of care and responsibilities, workplace culture and environment, and provision of family physical facilities. The findings revealed that school settings were particularly lacking in terms of providing physical facilities and supportive supervisor behaviour that could promote family support and wellbeing at the workplace. Thus, it is hoped that these findings will highlight the important needs and concern of teachers regarding the provision of a workplace that is family sensitive. Further implication and suggestions are outlined.
