The Moderating Role of Job Resourcefulness in the Impact of Work?Family and Family?Work Life Conflict on the Burnout Levels of Travel Agency Employees

The aim of this study is to determine the moderating role of job resourcefulness under the influence of work?family and family?work life conflict on the burnout levels of employees. In this context, a questionnaire was created using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), Work?Family Life Conflict, and Job Resourcefulness Scale. This survey was applied to travel agency employees in Izmir, Turkey, who were selected by using deliberate sampling method. At the end of the data collection period, 220 valid questionnaires were obtained. A hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to test the hypotheses based on the reliability and validity of the scales. Analysis results indicate that resourcefulness reduces detrimental effects of work-family conflict on emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. In addition results also indicate that job resourcefulness reduces detrimental effects of family-work conflict on depersonalization. The implications of these results for future research are also discussed.
