Abstract

The study aims to investigate the predictors of work-family interference among female school teachers in rural and urban areas. By comparing the two settings, the research seeks to identify the contextual factors that contribute to the challenges faced by teachers in balancing their work and family responsibilities. Data from the participants were gathered using a cross-sectional research design and a non-probability purposive sampling technique. Data was collected from females belongs to urban (Lahore) and rural (Toba Tek Singh) district from February to August 2022 in the Government sector. The sample was comprised of (N=300; n=150 rural and n=150 urban) and work and family conflict scale (Haslam et al., 2015) was used to collect data. The comparison was made on the basis of demographics variables. The results revealed that age, ethnicity (rural and urban), marital status, number of children, and family system were remarkable to prognosticate of work-family interference among female school teachers. Moreover, the interference of work to family and from family to work was higher in the married young adult females having a greater number of children and living in the urban area as compared to unmarried and living in rural areas. Contextual factors significantly influence work-family interference. It is concluded that the demographics, such as geographical location (rural vs. urban), number of children, family system, age and marital status play a crucial role in determining the level of work-family and family-work interference experienced by female school teachers.
