Abstract

The main focus of this study is to analyze the impact of work-life conflict on turnover intention and examine the impact of work stress as a mediating variable among the teaching employees of private higher education institutions. The current study drew upon samples of 145 teaching employees of private higher education institutions in the education sector of Haryana. A questionnaire was administered to gather the necessary information. Data was evaluated by using the Smart PLS (v.3.2.9) software. In addition, structural equation modeling was conducted to achieve the study’s objectives, and SPSS 25 software was used to compute the demographic profile of teaching employees. The findings indicated that the turnover intention of teaching employees is positively associated with work-life conflict and work stress. In addition, work stress as an intervening variable positively and significantly impacts kinship amid work-life conflict and turnover intention. The teaching employees like to stay in their institutions if there is no work stress. The main concern is not only reducing the work stress of teaching employees but also reforming the quality and level (of work), so they can have less work-life conflict, thus reducing turnover intentions. To dwindle job-related stressors and work-life conflict among employees, various family-friendly benefits and job stress management policies may provide the benefits. This study enhances the understanding of work-life conflicts and work stress. Further, it also has taken into account some antecedents of work-life conflict and work stress, which will aid researchers and academicians in comprehending their impact on turnover intention. The current study has discussed limitations and future directions.

印度私立高等教育部门工作压力对工作-生活冲突和离职倾向的中介作用研究

本研究的主要焦点是分析工作与生活冲突对离职意愿的影响，并考察工作压力作为中介变量在私立高等教育机构教职员工中的影响。目前的研究采用了哈里亚纳邦教育部门145名私立高等教育机构教职员工的样本。进行了问卷调查，以收集必要的信息。使用Smart PLS（v.3.2.9）软件对数据进行评估。此外，为了实现研究目标，还进行了结构方程建模，并使用SPSS 25软件计算了教学员工的人口统计概况。研究结果表明，教师离职意愿与工作生活冲突和工作压力呈正相关。此外，在工作与生活冲突和离职意向中，工作压力作为一个干预变量对亲属关系产生了积极而显著的影响。如果没有工作压力，教学人员喜欢呆在他们的机构里。主要关注的不仅是减轻教学员工的工作压力，还包括改革（工作）质量和水平，使他们能够减少工作与生活的冲突，从而降低离职意愿。为了减少员工之间与工作相关的压力源和工作与生活的冲突，各种家庭友好福利和工作压力管理政策可能会带来好处。这项研究增进了对工作与生活冲突和工作压力的理解。此外，它还考虑了工作与生活冲突和工作压力的一些前因，这将有助于研究人员和学者理解它们对离职意愿的影响。目前的研究已经讨论了局限性和未来的方向。

期刊介绍： “The fundamental idea for interdisciplinarity derives” as our Chief Editor Explains, “from an evolutionary necessity; namely the need to confront and interpret complex systems…An entity that is studied can no longer be analyzed in terms of an object of just single discipline, but as a contending hierarchy of components which could be studied under the rubric of multiple or variable branches of knowledge.” Following this, we encourage authors to engage themselves in interdisciplinary discussion of topics from the broad areas listed below and apply interdsiciplinary perspectives from other areas of the humanities and/or the sciences wherever applicable. We publish peer-reviewed original research papers and reviews in the interdisciplinary fields of humanities. A list, which is not exclusive, is given below for convenience. See Areas of discussion. We have firm conviction in Open Access philosophy and strongly support Open Access Initiatives. Rupkatha has signed on to the Budapest Open Access Initiative. In conformity with this, the principles of publications are primarily guided by the open nature of knowledge.
