Abstract

Introduction: Nowadays, conflicts between work and family demands are an inevitable problem in the society. The aim of present study was to investigate the moderator role of dyadic coping in the relationship between work-family and family-work conflict and marital satisfaction in teaching hospitals in Ahvaz.

Methods: The present study is a descriptive and correlational study conducted on 110 (55 males and 55 females) working in teaching hospitals of Ahvaz in 2021. A convenience sampling method was used in this study. Mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation coefficient and moderator regression analysis were used to describe and analyze the data. SPSS-22 software was used to analyze the obtained data.

Results: The mean age of male and female participants was 32 and 33, respectively. This study showed that there is a significant negative correlation between work-family and family-work conflict and marital satisfaction (p <001) and a positive correlation between dyadic coping and marital satisfaction at a significant level of p <001. The results of moderator regression analysis showed that dyadic coping moderates the relationship between work-family and family-work conflict and marital satisfaction in both males and females.

Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that dyadic coping can reduce the relationship between work-family and family-work conflict and marital satisfaction. In other words, the relationship between work-family, family-work conflict and marital satisfaction is higher in males and females who have higher dyadic coping than males and females who have lower dyadic coping.
