Overview

Survey study reveals gender primarily drives domestic labor allocation and work–family balance satisfaction in employees, indicating workplace support alone cannot overcome traditional roles.

Key Points

To determine how gender, educational attainment, and employment status impact the allocation of household chores and caregiving, as well as satisfaction with work–family balance.
Surveyed N=1,176 corporate employees across two companies in Brazil.
Modeled domestic task distribution and work–family balance satisfaction using multinomial logistic regression and multiple linear regression.
Gender served as the primary predictor of both domestic chore allocation and caregiving duties, exerting a stronger influence than education level or partner employment status.
A family-supportive organizational culture did not moderate the relationship between domestic responsibilities and work–family balance satisfaction.
