Vizsgálatunk célja az volt, hogy dolgozó felnőtteken (N = 544, F = 227, N = 317) teszteljük az általunk összeállított munka-család egyensúly kérdőívet. Ennek mért dimenziói a munkából származó család-konfliktus, a családból származó munka-konfliktus, az élettel és munkával való elégedettség, valamint a családba és munkába bevonódás voltak. A kérdőív egészének és egyes aldimenzióinak érvényességét feltérképező és ellenőrző faktoranalízissel vizsgáltuk, valamint a faktorok belső konzisztenciáját is elemeztük. Strukturális egyenlet modellezés segítségével (SEM) megvizsgáltuk továbbá a dimenziók egymással való kapcsolati hálóját egy olyan modellben, amelyben a fenti tényezők mellett szerepeltek a munkahelyi klíma (szakmailag támogató és feszült), a munkával kapcsolatos követelmények (munkaórák és túlórák mennyisége), valamint demográfiai adatok (családi állapot és gyermekek száma) hatásai is. Azonfelül, hogy erősen összekapcsolódó rendszerről kaptunk így információkat, elkülönítettük a munkából származó család- és családból származó munka-konfliktus egyedi hátterét is. A feltárt modell kapcsán egyrészt megjelentek a szakirodalom által elvárt hatások és kapcsolatok, másrészt új kapcsolati mintázatokat is sikerült feltárni.

The Impact

This study tries to explore and examine the relationships of work-family balance among army officers of the Nepal Army.The objectives of the study is to discover the issues and consequences of the work family confl ict by examining and discussing the impact of time, stress and job satisfaction on work-family relation and to suggest some recommendations to maintain the balance between the two. This study is simply base on desk review of research papers and information on work-family relation of army officers. Unprecedented problems of work family conflict are a common phenomenon within modern organizations. Stress, low performance, absenteeism, quitting from the force and committing suicide are the consequences of the work-family conflict So, the organizations are compelled to manage all causes of conflict before escalating the adverse effects. The study has followed a step-by-step approach to undertake review of the research papers. The results of this study reveal that work-life conflict and stress have a significant positive relationship. The findings of the study will encourage the Nepal Army for further research on work family balance and the additional examination may provide better understanding of truth. It is also hope that the results and recommendations gleaned from this study may assist the Nepal Army in making policies and programs related to work family conflict in future. Should the Nepal Army leadership fail to work proactively to ensure this balance, this may provide ground for a new kind of conflict.

The mediating roles of work-family balance, job satisfaction and family satisfaction in work-family dynamics research has not been explored fully to delineate their probable intervening effects. Using spillover theory as the basis, the current study tests a model to identify the role of these factors in work-family conflict (and work-role ambiguity), career satisfaction and perception of life success. Responses obtained through an online survey from a final sample of 344 academic faculty, across different educational institutions in India, tend to suggest that work-family balance mediated work-family conflict and its potential influence on life success as well as career satisfaction, and also the relationship between work-role ambiguity and both life success and career satisfaction. While job satisfaction also showed similar results except for non-significant mediation between work-role ambiguity and life success, family satisfaction mediated only between work role ambiguity and life success. The importance of job satisfaction and work-family balance is highlighted in the context of reducing the negative impact of work-family conflict and work-role ambiguity on one’s career and life satisfaction. Results and their practical and theoretical implications, and future directions of research to further our understanding of work-family dynamics, etc., are discussed.

This paper re-examines the concept of work-family balance by analyzing qualitative data from interviews conducted with Australian senior female staff and managers at a major metropolitan bank and a large, regional hospital. Extant research suggests that managers and staff in senior roles, who have greater autonomy and discretion than other employees, are better able to balance their work and family demands. This paper finds evidence for work-family conflict among participants, who perceive they have “no balance” and must make many personal sacrifices to meet the conflicting demands of work and family. Our findings are confronted with the greedy institutions framework which provides a suitable metaphor to understand the role of organizations in supporting the dual demands of work-family.

Flexible Work Practices

AbstractMany people (particularly women) see entrepreneurship as a way of achieving a better balance between work and family than that provided by paid employment. Fifty-eight entrepreneurs were interviewed in New Zealand (32 women and 26 men) in order to explore the work-family conflict they face, the techniques they use to achieve work–family balance and the effectiveness of these strategies. Our study finds that women entrepreneurs employ a number of flexible work practices, such as choosing where to work, when to work and with whom to work as well as managing their roles within the family. This study concludes that entrepreneurship may not be a panacea for achieving work–family balance. We offer some suggestions for how entrepreneurs may better achieve work–family balance.
