Work-Family Segmentation Preferences and Supplies: Who Prefers Segmentation and What Are the Effects of Segmentation Supplies?

Q: What does this research mean for the field?

A mismatch between high work-family segmentation preference and low workplace segmentation supplies maximizes work-to-family conflict, and these segmentation preferences are significantly shaped by gender and context-specific tripartite self-concepts.

Key Points

The study aims to explore the restructuring patterns of the tripartite self in work and family contexts, and their relation to segmentation preferences and support.
Sample of 300 married employees (150 men, 150 women)
Mixed 2 × 2 × 3 repeated measures ANOVA to analyze interactions of context, self type, and gender
Assessed the relationships between separation preference, separation support, work-family conflict, and satisfaction.
Significant interaction found between context, self type, and gender; women preferred segmentation in work contexts, men in family contexts.
High preference with low support (HL group) reported the highest conflict, while high preference with high support (HH group) reported the lowest.
Significant correlation between separation support and all variables related to work-family conflict and life satisfaction.

Implication

Explores separation preferences and support effects in working couples, indicating implications for work-life balance.
