Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which work-life conflict and organizational support for work-life balance
are related to job satisfaction and turnover intentions for military law enforcement personnel. More specifically, 1203 members
of the United States Air Force Office of Special Investigations completed a survey that measured family-to-work conflict,
work-to-family conflict, perceptions of work-life support from the organization, support from immediate supervisors, and support
from peers. Work-to-family and family-to-work conflict were related to job satisfaction and turnover intentions. Perceived
social support, especially at the organizational level, was negatively correlated with work-to-family and family-to-work conflict.
Agents within the OSI were experiencing more work-to-family and family-to-work conflict than OSI support staff although the
relationships among support, conflict and satisfaction were the same for the two groups.
