Many studies showed that individuals who are involved in multiple life roles are exposed to interrole conflicts. According to the conflict perspective, a significant and simultaneous commitment in multiple roles can lead to depletion of individual resources. A cluster analysis, conducted with 252 male managers and professionals living in a dual-income couple, revealed three profiles of commitment in the roles of worker and parent. one of the profiles includes men with a strong commitment in both roles, while the other two profiles characterize those who have a strong commitment in one of them. Results show that the three commitment profiles differ on sociodemographic and socioprofessional variables and, work-family conflict. Contrary to expectations, men who have a strong commitment to both life roles do not report higher levels of interrole conflicts than the ones of other profiles. It seems that a marked and simultaneous commitment in the roles of worker and parent can have a beneficial effect for the individual. These results demonstrate the need for further research on commitment profiles to consider work-family enrichment and work-family facilitation. Factors that determine the involvement of men in roles of worker and parent and compatibility of the spouse commitment profiles should also be analyzed.
