Organizational values, work experiences and satisfactions among managerial and professional women

This study examined the relationship of managerial and professional womens’ perception of organizational values supportive of work‐personal life balance in their workplace and their work experiences, work and non‐work satisfactions and psychological well‐being. Data were collected from 251 women using anonymous questionnaires. Managerial women reporting organizational values more supportive of work‐personal life balance also reported greater job and career satisfaction, less work stress, less intention to quit, greater family satisfaction, fewer psychosomatic symptoms and more positive emotional well‐being. Interestingly, perceptions of organizational values supportive of work‐personal life balance were unrelated to hours and extra‐hours worked and job involvement.
