Summary/Abstract: he The purpose of this paper is to reveal the effect of work-family conflicts on life satisfaction. In addition, differences and similarities of this effect are aimed to reveal. In this regard, survey has been conducted within academics who work in business schools in the British and Turkish universities and these findings were discussed in erms of their theoretical and practical implications. Study results, first of all, show that the level of work-family and family-work conflicts for Turkish academics is higher than the UK academics; however, the level of life satisfaction is lower than the UK academics. Another result for the UK academics demonstrates that although the level of work-family conflicts has negative effects on the level of life satisfaction, the level of family-work conflicts has no meaningful effect on the level of life satisfaction. In addition, for Turkish academics, a meaningful effect of the level of work-family conflicts and family-work conflicts on the level of life satisfaction was not found.
