DIRECT AND INTERACTIVE CONNOTATION OF WORK-FAMILY-CONFLICT AND CAREERIST ORIENTATION ON FRUSTRATION WITH WORK

The current study was carried out to measure the direct and interactive effect of work-family-conflict and careerist orientation on frustration with work. Three hundred eleven respondents, as a sample, were taken from the employees working in the Nepalese non-government organizations. Perceptual cross-sectional data were quantitatively analyzed adopting the deducting reasoning approach as well as positivist research philosophy. Inferential statistic revealed number of findings. Work-family-conflict was positively associated with frustration with work. Careerist orientation was negatively associated with frustration with work. Careerist orientation moderated the direct impact of work-family-conflict on frustration with work. Moreover, regarding moderation, high careerist oriented employees were less frustrated with work due to work-family-conflict than less careerist oriented employees. At a fixed point of work-family-conflict (e.g., high level), the impact of work-family-conflict on frustration with work was better when there was a high careerist orientation than the low level of careerist orientation. Numbers of theoretical implications, practical implications as well as direction for future research were discussed.
