The Role of Work Stress Mediation in the Relationship of Multiple Role Conflict and Female Employee Performance

Abstract

Modern life and rapid development require women to take over in developing work careers, and even some become leaders of organizations and countries. In contrast to past perceptions that place women are considered low and tend to experience discrimination in careers and jobs. The participation of women by working brings negative consequences resulting from role conflicts. This study aims to provide empirical evidence regarding the effect of multiple role conflict on the performance of female employees with job stress as a mediating variable. The sample in this study was 97 employees of Bank Jateng, the Coordinator in Purwokerto. The data analysis method uses the structural equation modeling - partial least square (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS version 3.3.2 software. The results showed that multiple role conflicts had no effect on performance, and job stress had no effect on performance. Multiple role conflicts have a positive influence on job stress. In addition, the moderating role of job stress shows a connecting effect between the influence of multiple role conflicts on the performance of female employees

Brokerage performance drivers amongst married working women in an emerging real estate market

“…The findings imply that married female employees are unique in their recognition of workplace gender diversity management as a performance driver (López-Cabarcos et al ., 2022; Pawirosumarto et al ., 2017). Also, the very high and significant predictive ability of social influences ( r = 0.932, p < 0.05, F = 556.581), though contradictory to Lukiastuti (2021), indicates that it should form the major concentration of HR in improving and sustaining the performance of married women. This has very important implications for a better understanding of what drives the performance of married women most in extant research and further accentuates the role of emotional intelligence and empathy in HR and strategic organizational management research.…”

Disagreeing, Lukiastuti (2021) posits that work stress had no significant effect on the performance of female staff.

Religiosity as a Stress Buffer: An Investigation of Muslim Women's Work-Life Conflict and Job Stress among Minangkabau Women

“…Role theory shows that women's work stress is influenced by various factors such as workplace resources, multiple role conflicts, and job satisfaction. Dual role conflict, arising from the dual responsibilities of work and family, can cause job stress among female employees (Lukiastuti & Lissa'dijah, 2021). Work-family conflict has a negative impact on job satisfaction, and job stress mediates this relationship (Putri & Sintaasih, 2018).…”
