    Este trabajo analiza la relación de un conjunto de diferentes medidas de conciliación laboral y familiar con la satisfacción de los empleados y de esta con su compromiso hacia la empresa, introduciendo en esta relación el término novedoso del enriquecimiento trabajo-familia (T-F) versus familia-trabajo (F-T), así como manteniendo el rol clásico del conflicto trabajo-familia (T-F) versus familia-trabajo (F-T). El estudio se ha realizado con una muestra de 322 trabajadores, utilizando la metodología de ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados indican que un mayor uso de las medidas de conciliación tiene efectos beneficiosos sobre el enriquecimiento y el conflicto, y hace que estos influyan en la satisfacción laboral de los empleados. En cambio, mayores niveles de interferencia o tensión en el trabajo hacen que el empleado se sienta menos satisfecho en su puesto de trabajo.

    El trabajo destaca el papel positivo del enriquecimiento para lograr una mayor satisfacción laboral del empleado y que, a su vez, aumente su compromiso hacia la organización.

    This paper analyses the relationship between a group of different practices of work-family balance and the employees’ job satisfaction, as well as the relationship between job satisfaction and employee’s organizational commitment. We differentiate this relationship according to the level of work-family (W-F) enrichment and family-work (F-W) enrichment, as well as we analyze the role of work-family (W-F) and family-work (F-W) conflict. We use a sample of 322 employees, and test the relationships with structural equations. The results show that a higher use of work-family practices has more beneficial effects on enrichment and conflict, and that both enrichment and conflict influence employees’ job satisfaction. However, higher levels of interference or stress at work make employees feel less satisfied at work.

    The paper highlights the positive role of enrichment in order to improve employee’s job satisfaction as well as to increase his/her organizational commitment.
