Sažetak
The aim of this study was to examine the differences in perceptions of work‐family conflict, social support and the quality of family functioning between men and women while controlling for striving for achievement. The research was conducted on 1, 064 working men (n=532) and women (n=532). All respondents were parents where both spouses were employed. Along with questions about demographic data, scales were used to measure striving for achievement, work‐family conflict, social support from the family and the supervisor, and the quality of family functioning. Less favorable assessments of work‐family conflict, social support at work and in the family, and of the quality of family functioning were associated with higher levels of striving for achievement. The analyses showed that men reported a higher level of striving for achievement, and, when controlling for striving for achievement, they reported a higher quality of family functioning, more social support in the family, and lower levels of family‐to‐work conflict than women. There were no differences in the perceived levels of workto‐ family conflict and social support from the superior at work among men and women. It can be said that taking into account striving for achievement of men and women contributes to knowledge in work‐family research and that it would be interesting to see whether men and women, as life partners, having different levels of striving for achievement may be beneficial to some extent.
