Abstract
In this study we propose that the employee experience of pay, specifically pay satisfaction, is associated with work-family conflict (WFC) according to spillover and exchange theories. Using two waves of data, we find that change in pay satisfaction has a statistically significant and negative relationship with change in WFC. A finer-grained analysis reveals the facets of satisfaction with benefits and pay structure are significantly and negatively related to WFC whereas satisfaction with pay level and pay raise are not. We also examine the role of perceived job inputs in moderating the pay satisfaction-WFC relationship. We find that the non-job related input of number of children and the job-related input of education both moderate the relationship between pay satisfaction and WFC. Research and practical implications are discussed.
