The fact that the permeability between family and work scopes produces work-family
conflict (WFC) is well established. As such, this research aims to check whether the
unequal involvement in household chores between men and women is associated with
increased WFC in women and men, interpreting the results also from the knowledge
that arise from gender studies. A correlational study was carried out by means
a questionnaire applied to 515 subjects (63% men) of two independent samples
of Spanish men and women without emotional relationship, who lived with their
heterosexual partner. As expected, results firstly show unequal involvement in household
chores by women and men as it is higher in women that in men, and the perception
of partner involvement is lower in women that in men. Secondly, those unequal
involvements relate differently to men and women on different ways of work-family
interaction. They do not increase WFC in women comparing to men, although there
are tangentially significant differences in work conflict (WC) and statistically significant in
family conflict (FC). However, perception of partner involvement on household chores
increases WFC both in men and in women but not WC nor FC. Nevertheless, increase
on marital conflict (MC) by domestic tasks neither affect in a significant way WFC
in women nor in men, but increase WC in both women and men and FC only in
women. Results also confirm that subject involvement on household chores is not a
significant predictor of WFC in women nor in men, and that MC by domestic tasks
is a statistically significant predictor in women of WFC and FC, but not in men. Thus,
results show that traditional gender roles still affect the way men and women manage
the work and family interaction, although the increased WFC due to involvement in
housework is not exclusive to women, but also occurs in men. Personal and institutional
recommendations are made on the basis of these results to cope with these conflicts. [-]
