“…This matter was highlighted by previous researchers. For example, Carnes (2017) as well as Hochschild and Manchung (1989) stated that the high level of stress among female employees was due to the competitive demand between the responsibility at home and the workplace. More worrying were the studies by Carnes (2017), Grzywacz, Almeida, and McDonald (2002) as well as Haynes, Eaker, and Feinleib (1983), which showed that working women were prone to exhibit pressure and behavior culminating from stress towards their family members.…”

The number of career women is increasing. This is in addition to the various policies that are inclined to direct women to a career life. Realistically, contemporary women have to juggle various roles in life. Thus, in line with these developments, numerous aspects should be considered to strike a balance between these roles played by a career woman. This includes physical health, mental alertness and spiritual wellbeing needed when shouldering the responsibility of a career woman. Hence, what are the basis? In Islam, wasatiyyah is a concept of mediocrity in every human. The next question is how is this wasatiyyah concept-based manifests itself in the well-being of a career woman in order to ensure a holistic wellbeing? What are the elements? This paper endeavored to elaborate this issue by outlining two objectives. First, to identify the wasatiyyah concept in a career woman context based on the main texts in Islam and discourses by Muslim intellectuals from various perspectives. Second, to suggest the basis for the measurement of a contemporary career woman's well-being based on the wasatiyyah concept. The research design for this study is a qualitative interpretive design using textual data from both classical sources and contemporary literature. Then, the authors analysed the findings using the qualitative content analysis method to elucidate both, manifest and latent contents, regarding the basis for the well being of a career woman according to Islamic perspectives.

“…In the stress literature, people often (and implicitly) are depicted as if they were required to face difficulties and stressful circumstances independently of their previous actions. Their agency only appears in their coping efforts, and the quality of coping with these situations influences their quality of life, as well as their health and well-being (Thoits, 2010; Carnes, 2017; Praharso et al, 2017). However, important theoretical work connects stress and coping with self-regulation.…”

Stress and Dyadic Coping in Personal Projects of Couples – A Pattern-Oriented Analysis

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Relational accounts of goal striving have barely considered dyadic coping as an element of the process, nor has dyadic coping research utilized the unique advantages of the goal construct (e.g., in form of personal project assessment) so far. Therefore, the primary aim of the present study was to explore stress and dyadic coping experiences associated with the personal projects of partners in a close relationship. Moreover, we approached data analysis in a pattern-oriented way, instead of using variable-centered linear models. We used cross-sectional data from 270 married and cohabiting Hungarian heterosexual couples (mean age 40.1 ± 11.2 and 37.8 ± 10.9 years for male and female partners, respectively). Partners individually completed an adapted version of the Personal Project Assessment procedure. First, they named an important but stressful personal project. Respondents appraised their experiences with the chosen personal project along several predefined aspects. These included: (1) stress experiences; (2) dyadic coping, using the adapted Dyadic Coping Inventory; (3) positive emotions; and (4) sense of community. The Relationship Assessment Scale was also assessed. Cluster analysis of both partners’ stress experiences, positive and negative dyadic coping strategies in their own personal projects revealed six relationship-level clusters. Cluster solutions represented typical variations of the stress and dyadic coping patterns of the couples, and could be arranged in a three- (lower, medium, and higher stress) by-two (positively vs. negatively balanced dyadic coping pattern) array. Further analyses indicated the general trend that couples with lower (vs. higher) stress together with more positively (vs. negatively) balanced dyadic coping may have experienced better functioning in projects (more positive emotions and higher sense of community) and higher relationship satisfaction. Results confirm that the partners’ pursuit of their personal projects is embedded in their relationship, and their functioning in these projects may partly depend on dyadic coping with the stress that arises during the accomplishment of the project. By using a pattern-oriented approach to dyadic data, we were able to distill stress and coping patterns that capture the specific types of couples’ relationships and indicate the non-linear and multidimensional nature of stress and dyadic coping processes.

“…Given the challenges of balancing work with marriage demonstrated by previous research (e.g., Helms et al, 2010;Kim & Dew, 2016;Carnes, 2017;Huffman et al, 2017;Peplinska et al, 2017;Umukoro & Oboh, 2017;Yucel, 2017;Xie et al, 2017) it is logical that individuals in marital dyads have some influence over each other's' behavior in the workplace. Further, Hammond and colleagues (2016) Fiske and Glick's (1995) Ambivalent Sexism Theory asserts that both BS and HS are associated with sexual harassment in the workplace.…”

“…In addition, research also suggests that certain skills known for being advantageous in the workplace may also benefit individuals in their home and marital life. For example, one study found that political skill can be used as a coping mechanism to lessen the impact of spillover of work stress to the home and can help men see their own role overload related to work-life balance as less distressful to their wives (Carnes, 2017). Because Ambivalent Sexism Theory (Fiske & Glick, 1995) was born out of interest in investigating sexual harassment in the workplace, the proposed thesis employs this theory to determine how women's close interpersonal relationships affect both their intolerance and reporting of sexual harassment in their workplace.…”

“…Connecting communication across work and personal spheres, I also draw from previous research demonstrating that individuals' close interpersonal relationships may influence both sexist attitudes and workplace behaviors (e.g., Lenton & Webber, 2006;Helms, Walls, Crouter, & McHale, 2010;Kapoor, Pfost, House, & Pierson, 2010;Brands & Kilduff, 2014;Kim & Dew, 2016;Carnes, 2017;Huffman, Matthews, & Irving, 2017;Umukoro & Oboh, 2017;Xie, Shi, & Ma, 2017;Yucel, 2017;Pepli, Godlewska-Werner, Po, & Lewandowska-Walter, 2018). I assume that this effect will persist in terms of intolerance for and reporting of harassing behaviors at work.…”

Interpersonal Influences on Interpretation of Workplace Sexual Harassment Rachael E. Purtell The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how women interpret and respond to incidents of sexual harassment at work, in the context of both their romantic relationships and workplace cultures. Incorporating Ambivalent Sexism Theory (Fiske & Glick, 1995) to measure sexist attitudes, I presumed that their own, their partners' and their presumed workplace's sexism scores for both subsets would be linked to the women's perceptions and behavioral intentions in response to being sexually harassed at work. Participants were 145 heterosexual adult women, employed full-time and in self-defined committed heterosexual relationships. Each completed a survey that included the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (ASI) (Fiske & Glick, 1995), the Sexual Harassment Reporting Attitudes Scale (SHRAS) (Cesario, Parks-Stamm, & Turgut, 2018), likelihood of reporting scenarios of sexual harassment (SH), and number of special peers in the workplace. There was additional demographic data about the participants and their workplaces, most of which was incorporated as covariates. Results supported several of the asserted relationships. Although the predicted relationships between participants' and their perceived partners' and workplace sexist attitudes with reporting SH did not emerge, there were many significant findings regarding these variables and their associations with intolerance for SH. The majority of this study's findings emerged as significant, even when testing alongside covariates of education, organization size, organization type, and number of special peers in the workplace with the exception of perceived partner HS and intolerance for SH that were non-significant. Future research should explore disclosures exchanged regarding such incidents at work in the context of both romantic relationships and other social relationships in and out of work.
