Abstract
This paper empirically analyzes the relationship between familiar duties and job
satisfaction in a developing country by using four different indexes. This analysis
includes objective measures and subjective measures from data gathered in Colombia.
In contrast to previous literature, objective measures are included through the interactive effects between the family responsibilities variables and the gender.
Subjective measures are evaluated using the job-family compatibility perception. Our
findings show that women tend to be less satisfied at work as the number of children
increases, while men are more prone to satisfaction at work when they are single thus
showing the importance given to the use of their own time. It also reveals that job-
family compatibility is an important determinant of job satisfaction.
