WORK AND FAMILY ROLES
Family roles clearly have different effects on men’s and women’s work roles, and there is a difference in the way men and women experience conflicts between the two roles. For women, there is less of a boundary between family and work, as family roles spill over more into their work life. For men, work and family are more separated; however, emotional strain from family interactions often has a negative effect on a man’s performance at work. For both women and men, problems or long hours at work have an impact on family life, and negative emotions from the workplace are likely to be expressed at home that evening.
Now cover the passage and listen to the recording. When you hear the question, begin preparing your response.
Explain how women and men experience conflict between their work and family roles.
Now listen to part of a lecture on this topic in a sociology class.
Not surprisingly, women report more conflict between work and family roles. Women who work outside the home actually put in more hours of work at home. Women do more of the childcare and housework than their husbands do, whether the woman works full-time or not. Women are much more likely to leave the workforce entirely when their children are young. They’re also more likely to stay home with a sick child or to be the one to rearrange their work schedule to go to a meeting at the child’s school. They’re more likely to feel overworked and stressed-out.
For most men, including men who are highly successful in their careers, family is far more important than work for their overall life satisfaction. The roles of husband and father are central to a man’s mental and physical health. So it’s not surprising that men carry emotional distress from the family into the workplace, even though they don’t experience the same degree of role conflict or overload as women do. In one study of working men and women, men more often than women reported that an argument at home was followed by higher rates of argument with coworkers or supervisors at work the next day.
The same study reported that when the man came home overly tired from work, the wives did more of the work at home. The reverse pattern occurred less often: the husband did not do more of the work at home after his wife had had an especially hard day at work.

Women report more conflict between work and family roles. For women, there is less of a boundary between family and work. Women do more of the childcare and housework than their husbands do. They are more likely to stop working when their children are young, or more likely to stay home with a sick child. Women are more likely to feel overworked and stressed-out. Men do not experience the same degree of role conflict or overload as women do. For men, work and family are more separated. The roles of husband and father are very important to men, and men carry emotional distress from the family into the workplace. Men are more likely to have an argument at work after having an argument at home. Women do more of the work at home after their husbands have a hard day at work, but fewer men do more work at home after their wives have a hard day at work. (3.5-3.7, 3.10)
