Although supportive organizational culture is frequently regarded as an important organizational resource, limited evidence is available regarding its capacity to buffer the adverse associations between these demands and job satisfaction. This study examines these relationships among female academics employed in Indonesian Catholic higher education institutions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted among 406 female academics from 22 Catholic higher education institutions in Indonesia. All constructs were measured at the individual level. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to examine the associations of work\u2013family conflict, glass ceiling barriers, and technostress with job satisfaction and to test the moderating role of perceived supportive organizational culture.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Work\u2013family conflict, glass ceiling barriers, and technostress were negatively associated with job satisfaction. Perceived supportive organizational culture significantly moderated all three relationships, such that the negative associations between these institutional demands and job satisfaction became weaker at higher levels of perceived organizational support.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The findings indicate that supportive organizational culture can function as a protective resource for female academics, although such support attenuates rather than eliminates the adverse associations of role, career, and technological demands with job satisfaction. The findings extend the Job Demands\u2013Resources framework and Conservation of Resources theory by demonstrating the buffering role of perceived organizational support among female academics in faith-based higher education.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fsoc.2026.1907341","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,4]],"date-time":"2026-09-04T04:25:27Z","timestamp":1788495927000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The support paradox: work family conflict, glass ceiling barriers, technostress, and job satisfaction among female academics in Indonesian Catholic higher education"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Ega","family":"Leovani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Business and Accounting, Musi Charitas Catholic University","place":["Palembang, Indonesia"]},{"name":"Faculty of Economics, Universitas Sriwijaya","place":["Palembang, Indonesia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohamad","family":"Adam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Economics, Universitas Sriwijaya","place":["Palembang, Indonesia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muhammad Ichsan","family":"Hadjri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Economics, Universitas Sriwijaya","place":["Palembang, Indonesia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"62","DOI":"10.1080\/09540253.2017.1296117","article-title":"Feminist scholars working around the neoliberal university","volume":"31","author":"Acker","year":"2019","journal-title":"Gender Educ."},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"151","DOI":"10.1037\/a0022170","article-title":"A meta-analysis of work\u2013family conflict and various outcomes with a special emphasis on cross-domain versus matching-domain relations","volume":"16","author":"Amstad","year":"2011","journal-title":"J.
