| Summary: | Married working women play multiple roles as Wives, mothers,
homemakers and employees, simultaneously. However, employers tend to
view employees' problems related to work and family roles separately. These
conditions result in work-family conflict as working women try to balance the
demands of work and family roles.
This study was conducted to determine the extent of work-family
conflict experienced by married working women, and to examine factors that
relate and contribute to work-family conflict as well as consequences of the
conflict on women' s well-being. The interaction effect of moderator factors on
the relationships between work-family conflict and women's well-being were
also studied. Using self-administered questionnaires, data were obtained from
267 woman academicians from two state universities in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
This study found that the married working women experienced varying
intensities of work-family conflict due to their multiple roles. This finding is consistent with the role theory which postulates that the expectations of work
role can generate interrole conflict when they involve pressures to dominate the
time of focal person and interfere with fulfilling the expectations of family role,
or vice versa. |
