Abstract:

In this study, through which the impact of work-family conflict on turnover intention is investigated, intermediary role of psychological satisfaction, which has recently started to be dealt with in organizational life, is studied. This study is conducted on 122 white-collar workers working at a private institution in Turkish aviation industry, the data is gathered through a survey. In the survey work-family conflict scale, satisfaction of basic psychological needs scale, life satisfaction scale and turnover intention scale are used. Using the results obtained from the analysis of survey, it is shown that only work-family conflict seems to predict life satisfaction and turnover intention rather than family-work conflict. The study results demonstrate that in the effect of work-family conflict on life satisfaction and turnover intention, satisfaction of basic psychological needs plays a partial intermediary role. The results are discussed in detail with regard to basic needs theory as a framework.
