AB  - Problem statement: Few studies have tested the indirect effects of dispositional factors
including perfectionism and locus of control on job satisfaction through work-family conflict.
Approach: This study examined the indirect effects of perfectionism and locus of control on job
satisfaction through work-family conflict. The sample consisted of 159 single mother employees. Data
were gathered using self-administered questionnaires. The data were analyzed using structural equation
modeling procedure to determine if the hypothesized model fit the data. Results: The results showed
that perfectionism and locus of control were significantly related to work-family conflict and that
work-family conflict in turn was related to job satisfaction. The results support the indirect path
between locus of control and job satisfaction through work-family conflict. The indirect path between
maladaptive perfectionism and job satisfaction through work-family conflict was also supported.
Conclusion: This study establishes the presence of indirect effects of maladaptive perfectionism and
internal locus of control on job satisfaction through work-family conflict and verifies that maladaptive
perfectionism and internal locus of control can result in work-family conflict which can
consequently lead to a reduction in job satisfaction.
