Relationship between Work and Family Satisfaction on Performance: A Case Study

This study is intended to investigate the perceived level of work and family satisfaction, on work performance of faculty members at the King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM). The sample of this study was drawn from the Faculty Directory List of KFUPM. The questionnaire used for this study was borrowed mainly from the Work and Family Questionnaire (WHFQ) developed by Felstehausen et al. (1986). The WHFQ was used to measure work satisfaction, family satisfaction, and perceived effect of home and family on work performance. The Background Information Questionnaire (BIQ) developed by the researchers is intended to obtain data concerning personal, family, and occupational information. The findings of this study have shed some light and contribute to the cross-cultural literature on work and family related issues and should be of interest to researchers, policy makers, academic leaders and educators
