摘要：This study examines the role of social support in the relationship between work family conflict
(work to family; WFC & family to work; FWC) and family satisfaction for private sector employees.
Using simple random sampling, data were collected from 260 employees from eight private
companies in Terengganu, who responded to the Job Content Questionnaire, Work Family Conflict
Scale and Family Satisfaction Scale. Results indicate that both WFC and FWC had significant relationships
with family satisfaction. The results of the regression analysis confirmed that FWC was
a significant predictor of employees’ family satisfaction. However, social support did not buffer
the relationship between work family conflict and family satisfaction. Implication of this study
indicates that the organizations need to emphasize the effective strategies of development and implementation
for work family balance in improving family satisfaction among employees. The suggestions
for future research are also addressed, especially in the Malaysian context.
