The purposes of this study were to determine the perception of leaders on work-family conflict among subordinates, the influence of the status or condition of subordinates and the influence of leader’s perceptions of work-family conflict experienced by subordinates against superior perceptions on the former nomination and promotion. The research was conducted in Denpasar, Badung, Gianyar, and in the Province of Bali. The respondents were the super-ordinates holding Echelon II, III, and IV both 40 men and women, with each having 1-3 subordinates, totaling 111 people. The method of sampling used was non-probability sampling, and data were collected via questionnaire method and interviews. Statistical analysis technique used was multiple linear regression. The results of the study showed among others that female employee has work-family conflict higher than male, the differing conditions have a significant effect on the perception of leaders on work-family conflict experienced by subordinates and such perceptions significantly influence the nomination and promotion of subordinates. As a result, the recommendations for the study include empowerment for both men and women, staff mobility as an important agenda in terms of the suitability of employees at work. Additionally, there should be active participation of the male-female employee in the domestic affair which can be accomplished jointly with husband-wife cooperation.

Family Work Conflict

The aim of the paper is to present determinants of work-family conflict for working men and women in Poland. Two types of such conflict were studied – from work to family and from family to work. Due to the fact that mostly parents are exposed for those types of conflict, the analysis is restricted to men and women with children up to 14 years old. The analysis is conducted separately for men and women since differences in division of duties in families may result in differences in determinants of work-family conflict. We are interested in the influence of workplace and family characteristics on both types of conflict. The model analysis is based on data from the second wave of the Gender and Generations Survey for Poland. We conclude that in Poland both types of conflict exist, but the intensity of work-family conflict is bigger than family-work conflict. In case of each type of conflict, its intensity is similar for men and women, but the determinants of those types of conflict vary across gender.

Family Work Conflict

Influx of women in the paid labor force had been identified as one of the important factors in raising awareness about work-family balance in organizations in developed countries in the west. The same phenomenon also occurs in Malaysia. Malaysia is considered as having traditional gender role ideology, whereby men and women have separate role in the workplace and in the family. Specifically, this study aims to identify whether there are differences in perception between men and women in public sector towards factors associated with work-life balance. Work-life balance factors examined in this study are work demands, supervisor support, organization’s family-friendly policies, family demands, work-family conflict (WFC) and family-work conflict (FWC). Sixty questionnaires were administered to employees in a government health training institution in Sarawak, Malaysia. Data were analyzed using SPPS version 17 and independent t-Test was employed in testing the hypotheses. The study found that men and women are significantly different in terms of supervisor support, work-family conflict and family demands. However, there was no significant difference between men and women employees with regard to work demands, family-work conflict and utilization of family-friendly policies. In line with previous Western findings, women experienced higher level of work to family conflict (WFC) than men employees. In addition, women also reported higher family demands than men. These findings strengthened the traditional gender role ideology ascribed by majority of Malaysians and lend support to the gender role theory. Therefore, the organization could provide relevant training, such as, time and stress management. Supervisors could be trained to be more aware of work-family balance issues faced by their employees and assist them accordingly.Keywords: work-family conflict; family-work conflict; gender

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Trotz einer hohen Zahl an Abschlüssen in der Humanmedizin ist in Deutschland immer häufiger von einem Ärztemangel die Rede. Ein Grund ist die schwierige Vereinbarkeit von Kliniktätigkeit und Familienleben, die vor allem Ärztinnen als Hauptgrund für die spätere Arbeit im nicht-kurativen Bereich nennen. Ziel der Arbeit Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit dem Einfluss des Elternstatus von Ärztinnen und Ärzten auf ihre Karriereentwicklung und das Belastungserleben am Ende der Weiterbildung. Darüber hinaus betrachtet werden die Auswirkungen von befristeten Arbeitsverträgen und erlebter Unterstützung durch den Partner auf das Belastungserleben. Material und Methoden Es wurden die Daten der KarMed-Studie, welche sich mit Karriereverläufen von Ärztinnen und Ärzten während der fachärztlichen Weiterbildung beschäftigt, ausgewertet. Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der querschnittlichen Analyse des Erhebungszeitraums von Oktober 2015 bis Mai 2016. Zu diesem befanden sich 433 StudienteilnehmerInnen am Ende ihrer Weiterbildung. Eingesetzt wurden u. a. die Fragebögen Work-Family Conflict und Family-Work Conflict Skalen. Ergebnisse Ärztinnen mit Kind unterbrechen die Weiterbildung fünfmal häufiger als ihre Kolleginnen ohne Kind und achtzehnmal häufiger als Ärzte mit Kind. Ärztinnen mit Kind sowie Ärzte mit Kind weisen signifikant höhere Werte auf der Family-Work Conflict Skala auf, Ärztinnen ohne Kind hingegen höhere Werte auf der Work-Conflict Skala. Bei Ärzten zeigt sich kein signifikanter Unterschied auf der Work-Family Skala. Weder ein befristeter Arbeitsvertrag noch die Verteilung von Kinderbetreuung zwischen Ärztinnen/Ärzten und ihren Partnern/-rinnen haben einen signifikanten Einfluss auf das Belastungserleben zur Folge. Schlußfolgerung Es besteht ein Bedarf die Konflikte, die aus dem Familienleben auf das Arbeitsleben wirken insbesondere für Ärztinnen in Weiterbildung zu reduzieren.

AbstractWorking from home has become engraved in modern working life. Although advocated as a solution to combine work with family life, surprisingly little empirical evidence supports that it decreases work–family conflict. In this paper we examine the role of a supportive organizational context in making working from home facilitate the combination of work and family. Specifically, we address to what extent perceptions of managerial support, ideal worker culture, as well as the number of colleagues working from home influence how working from home relates to work–family conflict. By providing insight in the role of the organizational context, we move beyond existing research in its individualistic focus on the experience of the work–family interface. We explicitly address gender differences since women experience more work–family conflict than men. We use a unique, multilevel organizational survey, the European Sustainable Workforce Survey conducted in 259 organizations, 869 teams and 11,011 employees in nine countries (Bulgaria, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom). Results show that an ideal worker culture amplifies the increase in work family conflict due to working from home, but equally for men and women. On the other hand, women are more sensitive to the proportion of colleagues working from home, and the more colleagues are working from home the less conflict they experience.

The Relationship

Juggling the responsibilities of work and family domains has become a part of everyday life for most working adults. Research has shown that work-family conflict can potentially have negative effects on general well-being, health, relationship quality and job satisfaction. However, the potential effects of work-family conflict on sexual well-being of working adults is presently unknown. The primary aim of this study is to analyze the association between two directions of work-family conflict (work-to-family conflict – WIF, and family-to-work conflict – FIW) and sexual well-being among working adults, while taking into account the mediating role of relationship satisfaction. Data was collected in an online survey on a sample of 584 Croatian men and women that are currently living with a partner. The data was analyzed within a structural equations modelling framework. The analyses show that WIF conflict was negatively associated with sexual well-being, but only among women. On the other hand, relationship satisfaction mediated the relationship between FIW conflict and sexual well-being for both men and women. This study contributes to sparse and inconsistent knowledge on the relationship between work- -family conflict and sexual well-being among working adults.

Purpose Conflict between work and family is a significant issue for entrepreneurs. The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of entrepreneurial failure on both family–work conflict (FWC) and work–family conflict (WFC) and the moderating role of perceived control of time and organizational slack based on conservation of resources (COR) theory. Design/methodology/approach This study used a questionnaire to explore the relationship between entrepreneurial failure, FWC/WFC, perceived control of time and organizational slack. Data were collected from the Chinese context in 2018 and as a result received 318 valid questionnaires, obtaining a response rate of 63.6 per cent. Findings The study finds that entrepreneurial failure has a significant relationship with FWC but a nonsignificant relationship with WFC and that perceived control of time and organizational slack moderate the relationship between entrepreneurial failure and FWC/WFC. Originality/value This study aligns the field of family–work (work–family) conflict and entrepreneurial failure. It addresses a research gap in the conflict literature by introducing one form of resource loss: entrepreneurial failure as a source of conflict between work and family based on COR theory and the work–home resources model. The study also enriches the literature on the social cost of entrepreneurial failure by exploring the crossover effect of entrepreneurial failure on conflicts in the family domain. Furthermore, the study advances the understanding of managing conflict between work and family after entrepreneurial failure.

The first purpose of this study was to develop a scale of work–life balance for Turkish working women and men. The second purpose was to investigate the mediating effect of work–life balance between work–family conflict, family–work conflict, and life satisfaction. In Study 1 ( N = 274), a work–life balance scale was developed and initial validity evidence was presented. In Study 2 ( N = 356), confirmatory factor analyses supported the scale’s unidimensionality. Cronbach’s alpha and the composite reliability for internal consistency were .92. All studies indicated that the Work–Life Balance Scale was valid and reliable for a Turkish employee sample. Structural equation modeling supported indirect effects of work–family conflict and family–work conflict on life satisfaction via work–life balance. Multi-group analysis showed that the structural paths of the full model did not differ by gender.

Purpose Using person–job fit, congruence and conservation of resources theories as the theoretical underpinnings, the purpose of this study is to propose and test a research model that investigates work-family conflict and family–work conflict as mediators of the impact of person–job fit on work engagement. The model also examines the mediating role of work engagement in the relationship between conflicts in the work–family interface and life satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach Data gathered from frontline hotel employees two weeks apart in three waves in Romania were utilized to assess the abovementioned relationships via structural equation modeling. Findings Two directions of conflict act as partial mediators between person–job fit and work engagement. Work engagement fully mediates the relationship between work–family conflict and life satisfaction, while it functions as a partial mediator of the effect of family–work conflict on life satisfaction. Originality/value This paper contributes to current knowledge by investigating the interrelationships of person–job fit, two directions of conflict, work engagement and life satisfaction.
