dc.description.abstract Work-home conflict is a situation that confronts employees in all domains of work and this has consequential effects on job satisfaction as employees try their efforts to balance the activities and roles of work and the home. Understanding how work-home conflict affects job satisfaction can lead to implementation of effective policies that improve job satisfaction and boost productivity. This study investigated into the subject using a sample of 150 employees from the commercial banks in Ghana, and aimed at examining the effect of work-home conflict on the job satisfaction of these employees. Analyzing the demographic characteristics of the employees showed that there were more male employees than females, and yet the two-sample t-test showed that there was found to be no statistical difference between male and females on the work-home conflict. The results of the estimated binary logistic regression model revealed that work-home conflict, gender, age, years of education, and number of dependents were significant predictors of job satisfaction. Particularly, work-home conflict accounted for a significant increase in job satisfaction by approximately 11 percent. The study recommends that management and stakeholders of the commercial banks in Ghana should put in place appropriate measures that would largely increase job satisfaction to prevent the possibility of the occurrence of negative effects of work-home conflict such as absence from work, turnover intentions, and tardiness. en_US
