The Impact

The article analyzes differences regarding work-family balance, participation in family work, and parental self-efficacy in workers (N=300) in Chile according to their sex and their status as income providers. Three instruments (Survey Work-Home Interaction-Nijmegen, Questionnaire of Participation in Family Work, and the Parental Evaluation Scale) were applied to workers from public and private organizations. Our results show that participation in family work is positively related to work-family balance, while the latter, in turn, is positively associated with parental self-efficacy. Furthermore, sex and being the main income provider in the household shows differential effects in both participation in family work and perception of parental self-efficacy. These results, we conclude, suggest the persistence of some elements of traditional gender patterns. This underlines the need to examine organizational policies from a gender perspective and to analyze the impact of public policy on organizational practices.

Positive Effect

Wondering whethergender mainstreaming really supports the shift to a more gender-egalitarian Europe,this chapter explores the intertwined relation between individual gender role attitudes, gender regimes,and gender cultures in Europe. It investigates how structural aspects, which determine the opportunities available for men and women to achieve their goals, as well as cultural features, which establish socially constructed, predominant family models and legitimised gender roles, contribute to explaining individuals’ beliefs in gender equality. The chapter reports empirical evidence of the positive effect of work-family balance policies, which enshrines the gender mainstreaming principles, on the promotion of gender egalitarian beliefs. Thesepolicies and workplace practices allow working parents to combine their professional and personal responsibilities, directly affecting their opportunity structures. Because of such realistic opportunities, people tend to express more egalitarian views. At the same time, the implementation of work-family balance policies transmits a certain idea of a lifestyle model and family pattern, legitimising them through structural elements that contribute to changing current gender regimes.

The Relationship

This paper utilized questionnaires to conduct a research on a total of 160 mechanical engineers in five enterprises in Wuhan, China in search of the relationship between psychological capital and job burn-out of mechanical engineers. The result shows that the psychological capital and job burn-out are obviously negatively correlated. The elements of psychological capital such as self-efficacy, optimism, hope and toughness can negatively predict the elements of job burn-out such as emotional burn-out, depersonalization, and decreasing accomplishment. Enterprises of China should take measures such as psychological capital diagnosis, professional mindset training, work-family balance project, job transfer and career culture construction to develop the psychological capital of mechanical engineers and reduce job burn-out.

Work Family

This study employed the ecological systems perspective and gender ideology theory to examine the influence of fathers' paid work–family crossover and family involvement on self-reports of work–family balance by employed mothers with children under the age of 13 ( N = 179). Multiple regression analyses revealed that fathers' crossover factors had a significant influence on mothers' perceptions of successful work–family balance. Mothers reported lower levels of work–family balance when fathers brought more stress from work to home. Mothers with more traditional gender ideologies reported higher levels of work–family balance when the father had a flexible job and when he was more involved in child care.

Practical Implications

Over last century, work was not only a means of economic survival, but also a very strong factor of psychological structuring and of organization of personal, family, and everyday life. The new world of work provides new challenges to the balance of work and family life. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 453 people with the aim of analyzing the relation between variables such as family burdens and domestic responsibilities, and the appraisal of work and family, values involved in work-family balance. The results of this study show that, in the present economic and cultural context, assuming family burdens and domestic responsibilities increases the positive appraisal of work and family, both in men and women. This has theoretical and practical implications concerning the challenge of work-family balance.
