“…The short-and long-term effects of compromise choices being made by Australian students entering university programmes have not been studied, either from the students' perspectives, or from the perspectives of professional programmes that educate them (Lokan, 1992;Niles & Goodnough, 1996). Several Australian studies indicate that the compromise process described by Gottfredson (1981) may be considerably more complex than proposed.…”

“…In their review of studies using Work Importance Study (WIS) instruments, Niles and Goodnough (1996) emphasized the relevance of making comparisons within occupational groups, across cultures, in order to enhance the understanding of different conceptualizations of life-roles and work salience. Making a career choice is important from both personal and societal perspectives, therefore, it is important for school-leavers to increase their understanding of concepts of life-roles and work salience, and how these factors impact on their career choices.…”

“…In their review on role salience, Niles and Goodnough (1996) describe a study by Madill et al (1988) in which 4 categories of employees (professional, managerial, clerical/sales and skilled/unskilled) are compared. The greatest difference in role salience between males and females was in the clerical/sales group with women placing more emphasis on home and family than on work.…”

The present study examined the relationship between family-work conflict, job performance and selected work and family characteristics in a sample of working mothers employed at a large retail organization. The hypothesis of a negative relationship between family-work conflict and job performance was rejected. Married women reported significantly higher family-work conflict than unmarried women, while women in the highest work category gained the highest job performance rating. More than half the sample indicated that paid work was more important than their housework and reported that their working had a positive impact on their families. The findings are discussed in relation to the changing work and family identities of non-career women.

“…Given that life role salience should be considered within specific developmental and cultural context [33], these results may be interpreted through more dominant traditional values than egalitarian values in the Macedonian context. In addition, it was revealed that moderating effect of perceived organizational support to family issues on the link between commitment to marital role and exhaustion was not significant.…”

Objectives: As many studies have shown, one of the most important tendencies of employees nowadays is to achieve worklife balance. Organizations should develop various activities and create supportive climate, within the framework of which employees will have opportunities to realize aforementioned goals which in turn would increase work productivity and work motivation. The aim of this paper was to examine how subjective well-being (life satisfaction and exhaustion) is associated with commitment to work and family roles under the conditions of strongly and weakly perceived organizational support for family life among health care professionals, teachers and bankers in Macedonia. Marriage duration and the number of children were introduced as control variables. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 198 full-time employed doctors, nurses, teachers and bankers. Research variables were assessed using self-reported measures/questionnaires. Hierarchical multiple linear regression was performed for data analysis. Results: It was revealed that occupational role commitment contributed to highly expressed life satisfaction, while exhaustion was predicted by marital role commitment. These relationships were stronger among surveyed employees who reported positive family-supportive organization perception, but tested moderation effect of this variable was not statistically significant. Findings demonstrated that family-supportive organization perception moderated association of the number of children with life satisfaction, that is, participants who perceived an organization as family-supportive and had more children were more satisfied with their life in general. Conclusions: Results highlighted the importance of organizational orientation toward employees, their commitment to work and family roles, and their subjective well-being, as characteristics that might contribute to higher work engagement, success and family satisfaction.
