Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 1

Abstract

This study examined gender differences among profiles based on life role importance on work-family conflict. The sample consisted of 404 Indonesia working couples with children. We found four profiles based on their work and family role importance that is a Family, Work, Dual and a Low profile. More men than women belonged to the Work profile and Low profile; more women than men belonged to the Family profile. There was no difference between men and women in Dual profile. There were differences among the four profiles on Work to Family and Family to Work conflicts. Men in the Dual profile experienced the least Work to Family and Family to Work conflicts. Men in the Low profile group experienced the most Work to Family and Family to Work conflicts. There were no differences in Work to Family conflict among women in the four profile groups. Women in the Dual profile experienced the least Family to Work conflicts. Women in the Low profile experienced the most Family to Work conflicts. Limitations and future research are discussed in the light of these findings.
