Effects of work–family and family–work conflicts on flexible work arrangements demand: a gender role perspective
基于韩国1336名已婚管理者的数据，研究发现工作-家庭冲突会增加女性管理者对弹性工作安排的需求，而家庭支持型监督的缺失会加剧这一效应，但家庭-工作冲突无此影响。
In recent years, a growing number of firms have adopted flexible work arrangements (FWAs) to help managers balance their work–family demands. Based on a sample of 1336 married managers in Korea, we found that work–family conflict increased the FWAs demand more for female managers than for male managers. When facing work–family conflict, the absence of family-supportive supervision increased the demand for FWAs, particularly among female managers. No such effect was found for family–work conflict. In addition, having a female supervisor led to an increased demand for FWAs from company managers. These results suggest that firms should pay close attention to gender difference and supervisory roles in predicting the demand for FWAs to alleviate work–family conflicts.
