Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the connection between family-supportive supervisor behaviours (FSSB) and many work-related outcomes, such as job satisfaction, intention to leave, and interest in one's work. The study will use previously validated measures to evaluate FSSB, job satisfaction, turnover intention, and employee engagement. The associations between the variables will be analyzed using correlation and possible predictors and outcomes will be identified.

The results of this study should add to the current literature by offering empirical evidence for the link between FSSB and occupational outcomes. The hypothesis here is that FSSBs will lead to happier workers who are more invested in their jobs and less likely to leave them. Overall, this study aims to provide light on the significance of family supportive supervisor behaviours in fostering pleasant work environments and employee well-being by providing light on the association between FSSBs and job outcomes.
