This study investigates the relationship between work–family conflict, job satisfaction, and turnover intention among working adults in India, along with examining how these relationships differ on the basis of marital status, gender, and mode of work. This study accumulates data from both married and unmarried employees. Using a quantitative research design, Standardised self-report instruments are used to measure work–family conflict, job satisfaction, and turnover intention. The present study seeks to comprehend how the work family conflict, job satisfaction, and turnover intention are related to each other. This research focuses on identifying the strength, direction and the anticipatory nature of all above mentioned relationships using appropriate statistical techniques. This study predicts that the higher the work-family conflict, the lower would be the levels of job satisfaction and the prevalence of a higher intention to leave the organization.
