A PROPOSED FRAMEWORK ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORK FAMILY ENRICHMENT AND SATISFACTION: MODERATING ROLE OF SOCIO-CULTURAL FACTORS IN BORNEO’S OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY EMPLOYEES

Abg Abd Wahap Dayang Zuhaiza, Abdullah Muhammad Madi

Abstract


The work environment of the offshore platform is unique as such employees live and work in the same confined area surrounded by nothing but the uncertain ocean. Due to the challenging and stressful working environment, oil and gas industry employees in Malaysia and especially in Borneo are facing critical work family enrichment and satisfaction issues. Therefore, it is imperative to investigate the family work enrichment and satisfaction especially among employees in oil and gas industrial context. The main objective of this paper is to propose a framework on the relationships between work family enrichment factors (capital, affect and development) and satisfaction (job and family satisfaction) and the moderating role of socio-cultural factors (monocronic-polycronic time orientation and gender role ideology) among oil and gas industry employees in Bornoe. Thus, it might be recommended that the organization and management should enhance the job and family satisfaction related to work family enrichment and the skills of employer and supervisors to play effective key role in increasing socio-cultural environments in the organization which could affect employees' overall satisfaction.
