The effect of work-family conflict and courage on turnover intentions in the banking sector in Mali

The demanding nature of the work and the steadily rising demands of family life is incredibly becoming challenging for employees to have an equivalent balance and level of pleasure with both work and family life. Some academics from throughout the world have claimed that work-family conflicts affect employee's commitment to their organizations, their level of job satisfaction, and ultimately their ability to retain personnel where Mali is of no exception. Courage is being studied with increasing importance in foreign literature in recent years. This study most importantly seeks to provide answers to issues relating to the phenomena that are prevalent in the Malian banking industry and how courage plays significant roles in these impacts. Primary data was collected from 203 bankers in Bamako, Mali through an online questionnaire, and Structural Equation Modeling was used for data analysis. The results suggested that work-interfering withfamily and family-interfering with work positively influence the turnover intentions of the banking sector workers. It is also identified that Courage moderates the relationship between work-interfering withfamily and the turnover intentions of the banking sector workers. Courage does not, however, attenuate the association between family obligations interfering with work and the aspirations of banking sector employees to leave their jobs.
