Abstract: Grounded on the conservation of resource (COR) theory and W-HR model, this study examined the mediating effects of work interference with family (WIF) and family interference with work (FIW) on the association between family support and satisfaction with work. The sample comprised of 324 working women employed in the private commercial banks in Bangladesh. The findings revealed that both the WIF and FIW mediated the relationship between family support and work satisfaction of female bank employees. Consistent with other studies, results reported a direct influence of family support on women's job satisfaction. In addition, family support was found to have a significant negative effect on both the WIF and FIW, and WIF and FIW were also found to negatively influence job satisfaction of working women in Bangladeshi banks. The implications for theory and practice as well as limitations and directions for future studies were also discussed in the study.
