Abstract:

Objective To explore the current status and influencing factors of work-family conflict among married working women,and help women alleviate the work-family conflict they faced. Methods A total of 1 958 married working women were selected from the psychology and behavior of Chinese residents survey data from July 10th to September 15th,2021 for data analysis. Results The work-family conflict score of 1 958 married working women was (24.19±7.99)points,and the scores for work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict were (12.75±4.32) and (11.44±4.27)points,respectively. The comparison of work-family conflict scores among married working women with different debt statuses,monthly income per capita,and age showed statistically significant differences(all P<0.05). Debt,household monthly income per capita of 6 000-<9 000 yuan,household monthly income per capita of ≥9 000 yuan,and aged 40-50 years old influenced work-family conflict among married working women(all P<0.05). Perceived social support was negatively correlated with work-family conflict(r=-0.280,P<0.01). Conclusion The work-family conflict of married professional women is at a high level,and debt,per capita monthly income,age and social support are influencing factors. The society,enterprises,policy makers and families need to pay attention to the influencing factors of work-family conflict of married professional women and give them some help and support.
