여성 근로자의 개인 및 직장 상황이 일-가족 전이에 미치는 영향

초록

With the increase of female workers in the workforce, achieving work-family balance has become one of the greatest challenges for effective organizations. Using the second wave of panel data from the Panel Study on Female angers by Korean Women's Development Institute (2009), this study attempted to identify the work-family relationship in Korean female workers and to determine how situations regarding their personal lives and their workplace affect the relationship. Especially, this research adopted the work-family spillover model, which emphasizes the dynamic nature of the work-family relationship. Consistent with the work-family spillover model, the results revealed that nature of the work-family relationship can be positive as well as negative. In addition, the direction of the influence mattered in the negative relationship: Work-to-family negative spillover and family-to-work negative spillover were found to be distinct. The effects of situation variables regarding family, work and organization were also different depending on the types of the work-family spillover. Less support from one's family, more working hours, more interaction with customers, higher level of work-related stress, and work-family (organization) culture with negative consequences associated with devoting time to family responsibility and with greater time demands led to higher degree of employees' negative spillover. On the other hand, more support from one's family, less work-related stress, and work-family (organization) culture with greater managerial support were found to contribute to employees' positive work-family spillover. These results highlight the importance of understanding and distinguishing various relationship between work and family in order to manage female workforce.
