Antecedents and Outcomes of Work-Family Conflict Among Married Professional Women: Evidence from Singapore
研究了新加坡354名双职工家庭已婚职业女性,发现角色压力对工作配偶冲突和工作者家务冲突影响最大,任务特征对工作亲子冲突影响最大,三种冲突对幸福感和工作结果影响有限。
The study reported here examined the impact ol fivc antecedent sets of work and family domain variables on three types of work-lamily conflict (job-spouse, job-parent, and job-homemakcr) and the impact of these types of work-family conflict on well-being and work outcome measures. Data were obtained from 354 married professional women from duil-career families in Singapore. Results indicate that married professional women in this study experienced moderate amounts of each type of work-lamily conflict. Role stressors explained the most variance in job-spouse and job-homemaker conflicts while task characteristics explained the most variance in job-parent conflict. The three types of work-family conflict explained only modest amounts of the variance in the well-being and work outcome measures. The findings are discussed within a feminist framework and an option for combining work and family lives is suggested.
