Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyze the effects of family-friendly policies on job
satisfaction and organizational commitment. Using the Korean Labor & Income Panel
Study (KLIPS) from 2006 to 2013, this study finds significant positive relationships
between the number of family-friendly policies and both job satisfaction and
organizational commitment. More specifically, receiving maternity leave and child care
leave benefits is positively associated with job satisfaction, whereas child care subsidy
does not show a significant effect on job satisfaction. Furthermore, organizational
commitment has a positive relationship with child care leave, maternity leave, and
child care subsidy.
