I compared role gratification and role strain of American and East Asian married women graduate students taking multiple roles of study, assistant work in the school, family care, and household management, etc. The American students experienced more strain overall than their East Asian counterparts. Perceived gratification and strain were strongly related to time demands for the American group and to economic conditions for East Asian group. The more nontraditional the gender-role altitudes of the East Asian students, the less strain they experienced. More than half of the East Asian students perceived that their own gender roles, but not those of their husbands had changed since they came to the United States. Perceived gender-role change of the husband was strongly related to role strain for the East Asian students.

While the number of women labor force in Malaysia is increasing, only a few of them make it to the top. For many reasons, some women turn down top position offer and some of them refuse to stay working. Commitment to the family, work-life conflict and lack of support from the family and the colleagues are among issues that caused women to have less interest to pursue career advancement. This article examines the role of work-life balance and its relationship to women career advancement, and why both are important in Malaysia. The arguments are arranged based on a review of the previous literature to conceptualize the relationship between work-life balance and career advancement. It is found that both work-life balance and women career advancement are important to retain women in the working world as well as to motivate them to pursue promotion to a higher position. Even though some researchers agreed that the relationship between work-life balance and career advancement is mostly negative, others found positive relationship between both constructs. At the end of the paper, some suggestions on how to improve work-life balance and career advancement are presented as well as suggestion for future research.

The study examined work and family life of married women employed in a manufacturing industry. Data were gathered from the use of face-to-face interview method from a sample of 230 married working women. The major findings of this study can be summarized as follows: (1) Most of the respondents found the work repetitive and unappealing, with the double burden of a paid work and housework. Thus, it is necessary for the government to implement social policies for married working women, such as establishment of various child care centers, part-time jobs, and dissemination of egalitarian sex-role attitudes. (2) More than half of the respondents were born in rural areas and immigrated to the urban sectors, forming a nuclear family structure. Most of these women were married with love, but some of them could not have a marriage ceremony because of the economic reasons. Thus, it may be necessary to increase the service centers to offer a free marital ceremony. (3) About 30% of the respondents answered they left their preschool aged children unattended, after dismissing from a kindergarden on a private institution. It was shown that working women, even though they were in charge of child-rearing, did not have an effective mechanism to control or protect their children while they were away from home. Most of them frequently used material compensations from their children in order to make up their absence at home. (4) It was found that the strategy for working women to decrease a dual-role conflict is to make a hierachy on the work they to do and to do only basic housework for everyday life and to do the rest of work on a off-day.

This study analyzes diverse factors in time poverty and quality of life in dual-earner families with preschool children that pertain to the individual, family, and occupation. Data were taken from the 17th edition of the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study developed by the Korea Labor Institute in 2014. The sample consists of 826 households who are dual-earner families with preschool children. The major findings are as follows. First, this study identified inadequacies in personal care time for dual-earner families with preschool children. Second, the results show that gender, recognition of gender role, and overall satisfaction of occupation are related to the time poverty of dual-earner families. Men are more likely to experience time poverty than women, and equal recognition of gender role and satisfaction of occupation indicate a negative relation on the time poverty of dual-earner families with preschool children. Last, quality of life in non-time-poor groups is higher than for groups who experience time poverty. Also, health state, earned income, work-family life conflict, and overall satisfaction of occupation are commonly related to quality of life in both groups. The results suggest implications for comprehensive policies to address family time issues.

본 연구는 취업모의 일 가정양립이 심리적 복지에 미치는 영향과 돌봄서비스 만족, 가사분담, 양성평등의식, 성역할태도의 조절효과를 분석하였다. 본 연구는 초등학생 자녀를 둔 취업모를 대상으로 2019년 3월 20일부터 3월 26일까지 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 총 163부의 설문지를 대상으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 소득과 긍정적 대인관계는 통제력, 자아 수용 등에 대하여 정(+)의 영향을 미치고 있었으며, 양성평등의식 수준이 낮은 경우는 가정양립갈등이 커지면 개인성장 수준이 작아지는 부(-)의 관계를 보이는 반면, 양성평등의식 수준이 높은 경우는 가정양립갈등이 커지면 개인성장 수준이 오히려 커지는 정(+)의 관계를 보이고 있다. 특히 돌봄서비스 만족이 정(+)의 영향을 미친다는 것은 돌봄서비스제도 확대의 당위성에 관한 정책적 시사점을 제공하고 있다. 특히, 가사분담이 많고, 성역할태도에 대한 강박이 낮고, 양성평등의식 수준이 높을수록 일 가정양립의 갈등상황에서도 오히려 심리적 복지수준이 높아진다는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 후속연구에서는 취업모의 성역할태도에 대한 강박을 줄이고, 양성평등의식을 고취시킬 수 있는 다양한 방안 마련과 함께, 배우자의 가사분담에 대한 보다 구체적 논의가 필요할 것이다.

본 연구는 한국과 일본, 영국의 기혼여성근로자를 대상으로 일과 가정의 양립 관련 가치관(일-가족지향성, 맞벌이태도-경력단절태도, 결혼 및 자녀필요성, 일의 가치 등)에 차이가 있는지 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 수행되었다. 또한 이들 가치관에 대한 세대 간 차이를 발견하고, 한국, 일본, 영국 기혼여성근로자의 주된 가치관 유형을 탐색하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위해 한국 311명, 일본 324명, 영국 322명의 자료가 분석되었으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 한국이 일본과 영국에 비해 일지향적이며, 일에 있어서 외재적 가치와 내재적 가치가 모두 높은 경향을 보였다. 또한 여성이 일을 해야 한다고 생각하는 경향성이 높으나, 일과 가정의 갈등상황에서 여성이 일을 그만두어야 한다고 생각하는 경향성도 높은 것으로 드러나, 여성의 일-가정에 대한 이중적 가치관을 보여주었다. 둘째, 영국은 삶의 중심을 가족에 두는 경향이 강하였으며, 여성이 반드시 일을 할 필요가 없다고 생각하는 경향이 높았다. 군집분석결과, 영국은 여성이 가정의 주책임을 맡아야 한다고 생각하는 경향이 강한 '여성-가족돌봄가치지향'집단과 가족가치를 중요하게 여기는 '가족가치지향'집단에 많이 분포되는 경향을 보였다. 셋째, 일본은 한국과 영국 중 가족지향성이 가장 낮고, 일지향성도 낮으며, 일에 대해서 내재적 가치와 외재적 가치를 지향하는 정도가 모두 낮은 것으로 드러났다. 군집분석결과, 일본 조사대상자의 경우 가장 높은 비율이 '가치관약화집단'에 포함되고 있어, 가족의 영역에서도 일의 영역에서도 동기와 만족감을 느끼지 못하는 소진된 경향이 높은 것으로 판단된다. 한편 일본은 맞벌이 태도와 경력단절태도, 결혼 및 자녀필요성이 일관되게 진보적인 성향을 보이고 있어 한국과는 구별된다. 이 같은 결과를 한국, 일본, 영국의 사회경제정책 및 심리적 측면을 고려하여 해석하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the contexts in which employed mothers with young children consider leaving the labor force. We used a mixed methods design, which integrates the findings of quantitative and qualitative analyses, to better understand the dynamics underlying employed mothers' intentions to leave the labor force. The participants of both quantitative (N = 324) and qualitative (N = 16) data were married mothers who were employed full-time and had at least one child younger than elementary-school age at the time of data collection. Both the quantitative analysis of logistic regression and the qualitative thematic analysis revealed that the child's age, the husband's income, the utilization of child care by relatives, the mother's job involvement, family-to-work role conflict, and other costs and rewards of participation in the work force were the important contexts where employed mothers considered leaving the labor force. The quantitative analysis uniquely found that being employed at a workplace with flexible work hours were associated with lower odds of considering exit from the labor market. The qualitative analysis highlighted that the decision to leave the labor force or to stay in it is a complicated issue that almost all employed mothers potentially face at some point in their careers. These findings suggest that policy support is warranted to help employed mothers with young children remain in the workforce when they wish to.

Women's educational opportunities have been increasing and women's general advancement in higher education is the underlying factor behind the increasing number of female students in medical school. A number of issues affect female students and residents, including the existence of gender bias and sexual harassment, higher stress levels and lower levels of work satisfaction, the lack of role models in academic medicine, and conflict between work and family roles, including challenges surrounding having children. To what extent female and male medical students and residents make different career and life style choices is also an important issue. The shortage of doctors in surgical departments and maldistribution among specialties are of great concern in the health care system and medicine's future. We must prepare to solve these problems. New medical policies and educational approaches are needed for the future.
