“…In many cases, household labor and the associated cognitive aspects tend to fall on women. Therefore, household tasks are not always fairly distributed (Al-Lamky, 2007; Romanowski and Saeed Al-Hassan, 2013; Shockley et al. , 2020).…”

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the direct and indirect effects of leadership style and gender roles on managing familial conflict (MFC), as well as how such conflict resolution affects divorce decisions and overall marital satisfaction (SF) in Qatar.Design/methodology/approachA 20-item questionnaire, corresponding to 20 indicators for six latent variables, was administered to 550 married couples in Qatar. The Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin measure of sampling adequacy and Bartlett's test of sphericity were calculated. The path analysis was measured using structural equation modeling.FindingsMatrimonial strategies adopted by spouses positively affected familial conflict resolution, and successfully MFC both positively affected marital SF and reduced the inclination to seek a divorce. However, men were not found to be visionary leaders in familial relationships regarding conflict resolution. Leadership gender stereotyping did not positively influence the perception of women's competency (WC). The WC did not positively affect the managing of familial conflict.Research limitations/implicationsThis study provides strategic insights regarding how MFC in Qatar influences marital SF. Understanding the determinants of divorce decisions and marital SF furthers understanding of how married couples can sustain healthy relationships.Originality/valueThis study empirically correlates three fields of family research: gender role; conflict resolution and marital SF. It explains how divorce issues have escalated in Qatar and explores the influence on modern social life of sexism, patriarchal roots and Oriental androcentrism. Many factors must be considered when examining matrimonial strategies (MSs), especially if there is debate over the ideal number of children. Strategizing models can curtail conflict that might lead to divorce.

“…This is observable when societal interests are blended into organizational culture and bureaucracy (Busayo, 2017; Wickramaratne, 2013). In localities where patriarchal culture is strong, collective macro-level change is seen as critical to opening opportunities for women (Ndlovu & Gerwel Proches, 2019; Shockley et al, 2020). For example, Ohia and Nzewi (2016) examined the social structures in Nigeria that regulate and sustain public mindsets viewing male dominance in leadership as normal and natural.…”

Women in Indonesia’s civil service ( n = 320) were surveyed about their career advancement. Analysis of variance identified differences in career progression, and post-hoc comparisons were tested using Fisher’s Least Significant Difference method. We found that family support and interpersonal relationships, paired with superior education to men, were critical to women’s successful leadership progression, especially through the echelon ranks. Qualitative results suggest that interpretations of hadith outweighed more contemporary textual readings, which required strategic maneuvering if women wanted to advance. This is because women’s own career aspirations required their ongoing loyalty to men and strategic maneuvering among filial, societal, and organizational constraints.
