Abstract:

National context and culture mediate the effects of work demands and family obligations on workers’ experience of work-family conflict. We study work-family conflict among professional bankers in three different countries, who all work in one division of one firm. Due to differences in national context and culture, Hong Kong based workers are less likely than United States employees to believe that family responsibilities will hurt their careers. Yet because Chinese society values family so highly, Hong Kong workers are more likely to perceive that work conflicts with their family and personal lives.
