The Mediation Role of Work Life Balance on the Relationship Between Workaholism and Turnover Intention

Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to examine the effect of workaholism on work life balance and turnover intention and to reveal the mediating role of work life balance in the effect of workaholism on the turnover intention. An online questionnaire was used as the data collection tool in the research carried out on 217 participants, which can be accessed through convenience sampling method. SPSS 21 and AMOS 21 statistical programs were used to analyze the data. While the structural equation models are used to test hypotheses, direct and indirect effects are included to examine mediatory roles. In the results of the analysis, it was determined that the excessive working had a positive effect on the work family conflict and the family work conflict and the effect on the work family conflict was more. In addition, it was found that the compulsive working had a negative effect on the work family conflict and the family work conflict and the effect on the family work conflict were found to be more. While the work family conflict has a positive effect on the turnover intention, it has been concluded that family work conflict has a positive and lower effect on the turnover intention. While the effect of excessive working on the turnover intention is determined as a fully mediator role through the work family conflict and family work conflict, the effect of compulsive working on the turnover intention have been found as a partial mediator role through the work family conflict and family work conflict.
