Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 9
Abstract
This study examined occupational stress as a mediator of work-family conflict and turnover intention in selected Savings and Loans Companies (SLCs) in Ghana. Descriptive cross-sectional research design was adopted for the study. One hundred and twenty-six (126) respondents from three firms were selected using simple random sampling and purposive sampling techniques. A structured and self-administered questionnaire was the main data collection instrument. Data was analysed with the help of SPSS whilst the hypotheses were tested through correlation and multiple regression analysis. The study found a significant positive relation among work-to-family conflict, family-to-work conflict and occupational stress. Also, occupational stress had a positive effect on turnover intention. However, work-to-family conflict rather than family-to-work conflict significantly predicted turnover intention. Finally, the relation between work-family conflict and turnover intention was fully mediated by occupational stress. It was recommended among others those work-family interventions such as flexitime, compressed workweek and job sharing should be implemented by management in the Savings and Loans Companies (SLCs) to help lessen the burden that comes with employee turnover.
