SummaryThe primary objective of this study was to examine work-related factors that were hypothesized to contribute to time-and strain-based work-to-nonwork con¯ict among married male and female lawyers. The ®ndings show that work overload was the only common determinant for both forms of work-to-nonwork con¯ict for both male and female lawyers. Work context was important in understanding female lawyers' feelings of time-and strain-based con¯ict, where working in a law ®rm resulted in greater workto-nonwork con¯ict. For male lawyers, working longer hours, working in a setting with more women and having a wife who held the breadwinner role contributed to their feelings of time-based con¯ict. Contrary to what was expected, the actual number of hours worked was not important in in¯uencing married lawyers' feelings of work-to nonwork con¯ict. The results show that the domestic status variables were not important for female lawyers' feelings of time-based con¯ict and that additional family roles reduces their feelings of strain-based con¯ict. It was argued that female lawyers may successfully cope with their demanding careers because they can aord to pay for external sources of child care and domestic assistance, which should be investigated in future research. It was also suggested that working long hours does not automatically lead to work-to-nonwork con¯ict for lawyers because they typically exercise considerable control over the scheduling of their work time, which may allow them to deal with the potentially con¯icting demands of their work and nonwork lives.

Medical school is intrinsically stressful, and high levels of stress have untoward effects. Although surveys have revealed some sources of stress among medical students, little is known about the qualitative aspects of these stressors and their associated coping behaviours, particularly among medical students in Singapore. Our exploratory pilot study found that relationship issues and examinations were the major sources of stress for medical students. The respondents described multiple context-sensitive coping styles, as well as reported 'avoidance' or 'wishful thinking' coping strategies as ineffective. Their stress-and-coping process suggests the influence of Asian culture and medical school culture. Our findings thus indicate the need for further research, potentially using new methodologies such as the critical incident analysis technique, and thoughtful consideration of culture when implementing programmes in Singapore medical schools to improve the students' stress-and-coping responses.

“…Prior scales assessing home-career coping strategies 12 have been helpful in identifying key coping behaviors, but have not included the methodological rigor to further research in this area while attending to reliability and validity (e.g. Wiersma, 1994). Other scales have either measured one's experience of home-career role conflict (Greenberger & O'Neil, 1990;Holahan & Gilbert, 1979) or career and gender role conflict (e.g.…”
