For both employees with high family-friendly work environment perceptions and
employees with low perceptions, higher levels of work-life conflict was related to higher
physical training scores. The physical training scores, however, were significantly higher for
those employees with higher levels of family-friendly work environment perceptions.
Hypotheses 4a, 4b, and 4c proposed that the number of family responsibilities would
moderate the relationship between family-friendly work environment perceptions and job
performance, perceptions of future combat performance, and turnover intentions, respectively.
As shown in Tables 3 and 4 family responsibilities moderated the relationship between familyfriendly
work environment perceptions and marksmanship scores (Figure 2), providing partial
support for Hypothesis 4a, and the relationship between family-friendly work environment
perceptions and turnover intentions (Figure 3), providing full support for Hypothesis 4c.
