“…In addition to behavioural factors, time and strain also contribute to the occurrence of work family conflict (WFC & FWC). Elloy and Smith (2004) concluded that conflict is compounded when spouses with children work together. In Malaysia, the increase in women who have tertiary education has led to an increase in the number of dual-earner families (Zaimah et al, 2015).…”

This study examines the role of social support in the relationship between work family conflict (work to family; WFC & family to work; FWC) and family satisfaction for private sector employees. Using simple random sampling, data were collected from 260 employees from eight private companies in Terengganu, who responded to the Job Content Questionnaire, Work Family Conflict Scale and Family Satisfaction Scale. Results indicate that both WFC and FWC had significant relationships with family satisfaction. The results of the regression analysis confirmed that FWC was a significant predictor of employees' family satisfaction. However, social support did not buffer the relationship between work family conflict and family satisfaction. Implication of this study indicates that the organizations need to emphasize the effective strategies of development and implementation for work family balance in improving family satisfaction among employees. The suggestions for future research are also addressed, especially in the Malaysian context.

“…Such a trend means moving from families with double income to families with double career (Kapız, 2002). Elloy (2004) proposes that when both partners are working, this is a cause of work-family conflict. Level of FWC increases in families in which both partners have full time or part time jobs as they face two separate types of demands from work and family domains (Fu & Shaffer, 2001;Voydanoff, 2002).…”

This study investigates the impact of several demographic factors (gender, age, marital status, and position, number of children and employment of the spouse) on work-family conflict and family-work conflict. The study includes the employees in manufacturing and service sectors in Lagos. According to the results in this study, the level of work-family conflict of males and females is high, and no statistically meaningful difference is found between their means. Logistic regression analysis shows that the log of odds of males experiencing work-family conflict is negatively correlated with education and job tenure, but positively correlated with marital status. The log of odds of females experiencing work-family conflict is negatively correlated with education whereas it is positively correlated with marital status. Job tenure has an impact on family-work conflict of males, and age of children and having to care elderly parents are noted to have an impact on family-work conflict of females.

“…These role conflicts often produce role strain (Bridger, Kilminster, & Slaven, 2007). In the case of dual career couples, multiple stressors and responsibilities often cause a person to feel overloaded and experience role conflict and role strain (Elloy & Smith, 2004). Cardenas, Major, and Bernas (2004) examined the reasons that people spend more time in one role than in another role and the consequences of this role strain in their lives.…”

Men are choosing to enter nontraditional careers with greater frequency. In this article, the authors examine nontraditional career choices made by men and review current empirical literature relevant to this topic. Gottfredson's (1981Gottfredson's ( , 1996 theory of circumscription and compromise and Holland's (1997) career choice theory are used as frameworks to examine factors that influence men to pursue nontraditional career choices. The impact of gender role socialization provides further understanding of career choice. The role strain and changing life and family roles that often accompany these nontraditional occupations are also examined. Implications for career counselors, suggestions for counseling interventions, and directions for future research are also discussed.
