Zusammenfassung:The work-family role conflict experienced by female managers and the variables affecting this conflict were examined. A sample of 633 members of the Women in Management organization were surveyed. Results from regression analysis indicated that managerial women with high levels of family role salience and long work hours experienced the highest levels of work-family conflict. However, women managers with high levels of job satisfaction and family satisfaction experienced the lowest levels of work-family conflict. The findings suggest that work-family conflict is more likely to be intensified by increased work demands than increased family demands. Results also indicate that, as the family becomes more central, conflict increases. Contrary to literature review expectations, work role salience did not enter the final regression equation.
