| dc.description.abstract | The aim of this article is to investigate the direct and indirect effects of having a partner and/ or having children on job- satisfaction among the Dutch workforce. We used two mediators, namely social support and work-family conflict, to test the indirect effects. We have examined the difference in these effects between men and women and whether these effects change over a period of five years. LISS-data, which are collected between 2008-2012, are used to test the hypotheses. The results indicate that there is no association between having a partner and/ or having children with job-satisfaction, social support and work-family conflict. However, work-family conflict is negatively related to job-satisfaction and social support is also negatively related to work-family conflict. The effects does not differ between men and women and the effects remains stable over time. | |
