AI Article Synopsis
- * Results indicated that family roles are prioritized over work roles, with men focusing more on work and women on family responsibilities.
- * The study found that conflicts primarily arose from work interfering with leisure, and men reported higher work-to-marriage conflict compared to women, with only minor correlations between role importance and work-family conflict.
Article Abstract
The aim of this research was to determine the salience of work and family roles and to study the connection between role salience and the interference of different types of roles among working men and women. Self-assessment measurement scales were applied. The research involved 206 participants; 103 employed married couples from different regions of Croatia. The results show that roles closely connected to family are considered the most salient. However, men are mostly dedicated behaviourally to the role of a worker. Women dedicate more time and energy to the roles of a spouse, a parent, and a family member whereas men are more oriented towards the leisurite role. The highest level of conflict was perceived when it comes to work disturbing leisure. Gender differences appeared only for work-to-marriage conflict, with men reporting higher conflict than women. The research found proof of only some low correlations between the salience of different types of roles and work-family conflict.
