Abstract:
|
This paper examines the relationship between work-life conflict and the desire for more or fewer hours of work. Many discussions of work-family conflict suggest that employees who have trouble balancing the demands of work and life roles will desire a reduction in work hours. Arlie Hochschild, however, argues the exact opposite with her “reversed worlds” hypothesis. This study finds that employees react to work-life conflict differently depending on their gender and the perceived source of the conflict. In general, when work and non-work roles conflict, men and women desire work hours that better reflect traditional gender roles, but only when the conflict originates in the sphere where traditional gender roles would place the respondent anyway. |
