Differences in Work–Family Interaction: A Gender-Based Comparison in the Colombian Working Population
Journal Title: Revista CEA - Year 2024, Vol 10, Issue 23
Abstract
Purpose: To examine gender-based differences in work–family interaction in a Colombian multi-occupational sample. Design/Methodology: This quantitative study adopted a cross-sectional design and a comparative strategy. A sociodemographic data sheet and the SWING (Survey Work–Home Interaction) were applied to women (n=445) and men (n=455) who were employed at the time. A statistical computer program, JASP, was implemented to treat the data and later carry out descriptive, correlational, and comparative analyses using the non-parametric Mann–Whitney U test for independent samples. Significance levels and effect sizes were reported. Findings: Differences were found in work–family conflict, with a higher average for women; and in work–family balance, with a higher average for men. No differences were found in family–work conflict or balance. Significant correlations were identified between the four dimensions of work–family interaction. Conclusions: The findings confirmed that there are statistically significant gender-based differences in work–family interaction. Originality: Adopting the Job Demands–Resources Theory, this study contributes to the understanding of the work–family interaction from a gender perspective in a Latin American country.
