Work-family culture and job satisfaction: does gender and parenting status alter the relationship?
Previous studies on work-family culture have examined its relationship with different employee outcomes but neglected one important question; namely, who are most likely to benefit from a supportive work-family culture in terms of positive employee outcomes? The aim of this study was to shed new light on the work-family culture–job satisfaction linkage by examining the moderator effects of gender and parenting status in this relationship

The aim of this study was to shed new light on the work-family culture–job satisfaction linkage by examining the moderator effects of gender and parenting status in this relationship
We asked whether gender and parenting status would alter the association between work-family culture and job satisfaction
Hierarchical moderated regression analyses performed separately for the three different organizations revealed that the results for mothers and fathers under the condition of high work-family support differed in the paper mill and the information and communication technology company
In the paper mill, mothers benefited more from high work-family support than fathers, whereas in the ICT company the reverse situation held: fathers benefited more than mothers
High work-family support was associated with higher job satisfaction among mothers in the paper mill and among fathers in the ICT company
