It's the nature of the work: Examining behavior-based sources of work-family conflict across occupations.

Abstract

The consequences of work-family conflict for both individuals and organizations have been well documented, and the various sources of such conflict have received substantial attention. However, the vast majority of extant research has focused on only time- and strain-based sources, largely neglecting behavior-based sources. Integrating two nationally representative databases, the authors examine 3 behavior-based antecedents of work-family conflict linked specifically to occupational work role requirements (interdependence, responsibility for others, and interpersonal conflict). Results from multilevel analysis indicate that significant variance in work-family conflict is attributable to the occupation in which someone works. Interdependence and responsibility for others predict work-family conflict, even after controlling for several time- and strain-based sources.

The milieu of managerial work: An integrative framework linking work context to role requirements.

“…For example, the prevalence of interpersonal conflict within the social context necessitates conflict management tactics and affects the manner with which individuals engage their social environment (De Dreu & Beersma, 2005;De Dreu & Weingart, 2003;Dierdorff & Ellington, 2008;Jehn, 1995Jehn, , 1997. Similarly, the level of interdependence in the social context represents the connectedness among work roles (Griffin et al 2007;Morgeson & Humphrey, 2006) and promotes reciprocal interaction with others, the sharing of information and workload, and boundary spanning activities to accomplish work goals (Katz-Navon & Erez, 2005;Kiggundu, 1981;Kozlowski, Gully, Nason, & Smith, 1999).…”

Pengaruh konflik interpersonal, work-family conflict dan stres, terhadap kepuasan kerja dan dampaknya terhadap kepuasan hidup

“…Menurut Dierdorff & Ellington (2008) dan Greenhaus, et al (2006 bahwa: "defined Work-family conflict as "a form of interrole conflict in which the role pressures from the work and family domains are mutually incompatible in some respect". Selanjutnya, Menurut Greenhaus, et al (2006) bahwa terdapat tiga jenis work-family conflict yaitu:…”

Flexible Working, Professional Success and Being Female: Are They Incompatible?

“…Within this context, work-family research has its conceptual roots in role conflict theory (Katz & Kahn, 1978) whereby participation in one role is made more difficult by virtue of participation in another (Dierdorff & Ellington, 2008). Employees in the United Kingdom are amongst those who work the longest hours of any European country (FedEE, 2008) with long hours particularly common amongst men who have partners and children (Houston & Waumsley, 2003;Somech & Drach-Zahavy, 2007).…”
