Sažetak
The aim of this study was to determine the value of different life domains of the individual and his/her spouse in explaining the experience of work disturbing family life (work-to-family conflict) and of the family disturbing work (family-to-work conflict). Four hierarchical regression analyses were performed, differing in the criterion variable (both types of conflict in men and women). Predictor variables were organized in three steps accordingly: 1) individual and spouse personal values (striving for achievement and attitude towards gender roles in marriage) ; 2) individual and spouse assessments of job characteristics (work control and demands, social support from superiors and colleagues) ; 3) individual and spouse assessments of characteristics of their common family domain (family competence and conflict, social support from the spouse and other close persons). Variables were measured using self-assessment scales completed by 274 employed, married couples who are parents. The results showed that all groups of predictors significantly contributed to the explanation of work-family conflicts. Personal values of the male spouse contribute significantly, but become irrelevant for both types of work-family conflict when the work and family environments are included. Job assessments mostly contributed to explaining work-to-family conflict, while family assessments mostly contributed to explaining family-to-work conflict in both spouses. Interesting gender differences in terms of the significance of predictors, especially spouses’ work assessments, were found. In general, these variables account for a maximum of 35% of the dependent variables variance, which points out the need to consider other relevant factors in explaining work-family conflicts
