Family structure, job characteristics, rewards and strains as related to work‐role centrality of employed and self‐employed professional women with children
研究419名以色列职业母亲的工作角色中心性，发现她们普遍高度以工作为中心，就业状态、工作自主性和内在回报与工作角色中心性密切相关，而家庭特征则无显著关联。
Abstract This study of the work‐role centrality (WRC) of 419 professional women with children in Israel was carried out by means of a mailed questionnaire. WRC measures cognitive investments in the work role, relative to the person's other roles. The results show that these women generally are highly work‐centred, autonomous and rewarded, and experience little work overload, but some person‐role conflict on the job. Employment status, job scope, job autonomy and career anchorage, as well as job rewards, especially intrinsic, are strongly related to work‐role centrality. Family characteristics are not related to WRC. Despite their demanding jobs, these women still perform the traditionally feminine tasks in the family, even when husbands are supportive. Employment status is an important intervening variable in the relationship of WRC and other job characteristics.
