Mohamed-Kohler, Yashfa Jaga, Ameeta Organisational Psychology Includes bibliographical references (leaves 47-59). This study examined work-family conflict as a predictor of turnover intention, and the moderating role that resilience may have had on this relationship. Participants were bluecollar workers (N = 136) within the chemical-specialty industry in the Western Cape. Exploratory factor analysis illustrated the unidimensionality of work-family conflict, however there was a strong theoretical argument to treat work-family conflict as separate dimensions for further analysis. Higher levels of strain-based conflict were reported by female blue-collar workers than by male blue-collar workers. Simple regression analysis showed that strain-based conflict explained a significant proportion of the variance in turnover intention; however time-based conflict was found not to predict turnover intention in this model. The results for the moderating effect of resilience on the relationship between strain-based conflict and turnover intention were not significant. Implications for management working in blue-collar environments are discussed. 2015-01-02T09:06:58Z 2015-01-02T09:06:58Z 2011 Master Thesis Masters MCom http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10969 eng application/pdf Organisational Psychology Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town
