Abstract: This research analyzes how work-family conflict affects the ’job performance’ and ’job stress’ of women working in Pakistani aviation. Work-family conflict can be considered an important topic of study in a collectivist culture like Pakistan. A woman is considered a homemaker and tends to operate in allegiance to her family. Therefore, given aviation jobs’ nature, it is significant to study how women thrive in them. A survey of 200 questionnaires was distributed to female pilots, air hostess and ground staff. Linear regression and correlation were used to test the hypothesis. A positive correlation was found between work-family, job stress and job performance. The directing impact of organization support debilitates the connection between work-family conflict with job performance, but it has no moderating role on job stress. Further, the moderating role of collectivist culture was studied, which showed that it weakens the connection between job performance and work-family conflict. However, it has no critical impact on job stress. This research will help supervisors in improving employee-organization relationships. It will also help the organizations to design the policies and incentives that will help female employees to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
