Abstract
The main objective of this study was to examine the effects of national context and family-friendliness of organizational culture in the private sectors on employee self-reported job and family life satisfaction. The data came from 1,613 employees of IT and retail companies in Korea, U. K., and Sweden, whom were married(partnered) with children under 12. The major findings of this study were as follows: The Swedish workers had more family-friendly perceptions about their organizational culture and more satisfaction about their job and family life compared with workers in U. K. and Korea. The hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that perceptions of family-friendliness of organizational culture were positively related to employees' job and family life satisfaction. It was also found that perceived family-friendliness of organizational culture and national context significantly predicted employees' job-family life satisfaction. The implications of study results were discussed.
