The Influence of Organizational Culture on Negative Work-Home Interference Among Highly Educated Employees in the Hospitality Industry

Abstract

An issue which has recently come to the fore in studies conducted among hospitality industry employees is the effect of negative work-home interference on the turnover of highly educated employees. This article examines the role of organizational culture with regard to negative work-home interference. The study was conducted among 418 respondents from the hospitality industry and non-hospitality industries. The results show that the experienced organizational culture, expressed as the number of hours worked overtime, the availability of work-home arrangements, and a supportive culture, was different for hospitality and non-hospitality employees. In addition, the results show that overtime, lack of support with work-home arrangements, and the absence of an experienced clan culture contribute to negative work-home interference. The results give an indication as to what hospitality organizations can do to minimize negative work-home interference and employee turnover.
