Influência do conflito trabalho-família e da satisfação no trabalho na intenção de rotatividade de auditores independentes

This study analyzes the influence of work-family conflict and job satisfaction on independent auditors’ turnover intention. The sample consists of 108 Brazilian independent auditors with LinkedIn profiles. Data was collected through an online questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling were employed for the analysis. The results indicate that job satisfaction reduces independent auditors’ turnover intention, while work-family conflict increases it. More specifically, interference from work demands with family generates turnover intentions in audit firms, whereas interference from family with work activities decreases turnover intentions. The study contributes to theory and practice by addressing relevant and current issues in the audit environment, particularly concerning the work-family conflict. The findings encourage audit firms to reflect on the importance of initiatives aimed at mitigating the conflicts employees face between work and family demands. Balancing these demands is crucial not only for the well-being of independent auditors but also for firms, as it reflects on audit quality.
