The study aimed to analyze the mediating impact of family support on the relationship of work-family conflict (WFC) with job satisfaction among nurses working in private and government hospitals in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Nurses were asked some questions that were structured, and responses were recorded on a 5-point Likert scale. A total of 584 responses were analyzed using different tools (SPSS-22, SmartPLS 4.0) and techniques (descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, partial least square). The results show family support has a complementary partial mediation impact on the relationship of work-family conflict and job satisfaction. While WFC has a negative impact on the job satisfaction of nurses. The study concluded that even though WFC is faced by nurses, family support can mitigate the adverse impact of work-family conflict on job satisfaction.
