We examine how women entrepreneurs in contents business experience work/family role conflict and then reveal what kind of conflict management strategies they adopt in varying external and internal conditions. A critical problem faced by female entrepreneur is the tension that exists between their personal lives and business role. This tension is viewed as a form of inter-role conflict in which the role pressure from work and family competes for women's limited time and energy. First, we probe the content and nature of work- family role conflict on the part of female entrepreneurs. Second, we closely look at the three strategies of work/family role manipulation. Family role reduction strategy, work role reduction strategy, and work/family role sharing strategy are identified. Third, we discuss how the choice of the three strategies is affected by internal family salience and the external resources including spouse, family, and financial resources.

본 논문은 성 통합적 관점에서 가족정책의 재구조화에 대한 논의를 전개함으로써 몇 가지 주목할 만한 결론에 도달했다. 첫째는 가족정책의 관점이 노동하는 주체의 관점에 섰을 때 일과 가족 양립의 문제가 특정성의 문제가 아닌 보편적 시민의 문제가 된다는 점이다. 즉 허구적 믿음에 근거한 공 사적영역의 분리를 (성별구분 없이) 노동하는 주체의 관점에서 통합시킬 때 공적가치인 정의의 문제와 사적가치인 보살핌의 대림이 해소될 수 있다는 것이다. 둘째는 노동주체로서 남성과 여성의 통합성과 현실적 문제로써 여성과 남성의 차이에 근거한 '이해'의 상이함을 반영하기 위해서는 가족정책의 틀은 가족 구성원이 노동하는 장소에 따라 구분해야 한다는 것이다. 셋째는 가족정책의 틀에 따라 가족정책을 가족영역과 시장영역으로 나누었을 때 가족정책의 내용은 가족구성원이 노동권과 부모권(모성권+부성권)을 실현하는데 장애가 되는 요인들을 완화 제거하는 정책이어야 한다는 것이다. 마지막으로 가족정책의 방향은 여성과 남성이 생계부양과 보살핌의 책무를 함께 나누게 하는 것이다. 이는 노동하는 주체의 관점에서 허구적인 공 사적영역의 분리를 통합시켜 내는 것으로, 궁극적인 가족정책의 지향점이라고 할 수 있는 보편적 일과 가족 양립을 실현하는 길이라는 것이다.

본 연구는 가족스트레스 이론적 모델인 Double ABCX Model과 일과 가정생활의 역할 긴장에 관한 선행연구를 기초로하여 제안된 이론적 모델을 검증하는데 목적이 있다. 이론적 모델의 검증을 통하여 일과 가정생활의 역할 stressor나 두 가지 역할의 누적으로 쌓이는 역할 긴장이 가족스트레스 이론으로 설명될 수 있는가\ulcorner 또한 매개 변수인 가족자원과 대처방안에 의해 어떻게 중재되어 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 가를 규명하고자 한다. 미국 로스앤젤레스 지역의 한국교민 중 맞벌이 부부인 가족을 연구대상으로 선정하고 설문지법으로 남편과 부인의 자료를 분리하여 표집하였는데 본 연구에서는 153명의 부인으로부터 얻은 자료만을 분석하고자 한다. 자료는 이론적 검증에 유용한 LISREL VII 프로그램을 사용하여 분석한다. 자료의 분석결과가 처음 제안된 모델은 검증하지 못했지만 가족자원 변인과 대처방안 변인간의 상호 관계 효과를 고려하여 수정된 모델은 가족스트레스 이론으로 일과 가정생활을 병립하는데서 오는 stressor나 누적된 역할 긴장을 이해할 수 있음이 검증되었다. 모델의 검증을 통하여 맞벌이 부부가족의 부인에게는 일과 가정생활의 stressor가 누적되어 역할긴장을 증가시켰으며 이 역할긴장은 주로 가정생활의 역할 stressor에서 기인하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 가족자원은 일과 가정 생활의 두 역할 stressor에 의해 강도를 더하는 역할 긴장을 감소시키고 삶의 질을 증가시키는 중요한 매개변수로 나타났다.

The purpose of the paper is to discuss the restructuring of the family policy from a gender-integrating perspective. Several meaningful conclusions were reached. First, examining family policy from the laborer's perspective, the issue of work and family becomes not a gender-related issue but rather an issue for universal people. Second, in order to include the difference in interest among men and women in the labor market, and to view the issue from a gender-integrating perspective, the framework for family policy should consider the place of labor. Third, if family policy is divided into family and labor arena based on the above mentioned framework, the core content of the policy should gear toward loosening and/or eliminating barriers to fulfill the right to work for pay and the right to care for family. Lastly, family policy should aim at men and women sharing the responsibility of supporting and caring for the family. By doing so, we may be closer to maintaining work and family together, the ultimate goal of family policy.

This study explored how the family-friendly culture of married employees is related to family strength and verified the mediating effects of work-life balance in such a relationship. The study included 213 married employees aged from their 20s to their 60s. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 18.0, and the Baron and Kenny (1986) method was used to perform descriptive statistics, difference verification, regression analysis, and mediation analysis. The results of the analysis were as follows. First, the differences between the general characteristics of married employees and family strength were analyzed. Among the general characteristics, married employees in their 60s were found to have a higher level of family strength compared with other married employees in their 40s-50s and 20s-30s. Furthermore, married employees with higher education (higher than college or graduate school education), with supporters, with a household income of more than 6.01 million KRW, and with positions higher than middle management were found to have higher levels of family strength compared with their counterparts in each case. Second, hierarchical regression was performed to analyze the factors affecting family strength; the younger the age, the higher the level of family-friendly culture and work-life balance, and the higher the level of family strength of married employees. Third, according to Baron and Kenny's(1986) mediation analysis, the balance between work and life had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between a family-friendly culture and family strength. Therefore, a family-friendly culture and work-life balance were verified to be important factors that can serve as alternatives for improving the family strength of married employees.

The purpose of this study was (a) to identify latent profiles among employed Korean mothers of third graders based on work-family conflict, work-family enrichment, work-parenting conflict, and work-parenting enrichment, (b) to examine the antecedents of profile membership at the individual, family, work, and community levels, and (c) to investigate the differences in the various psychological outcomes across the profiles. The sample of 451 married employed mothers was a subset of data from the 10th Wave of the Panel Study of Korean Children, which was collected in 2017 when the focal child was in the third grade. Our latent profile analysis suggested a three-profile model that comprised enriched (11.91%), moderate (47.85%), and mixed (40.24%) profiles. The significant antecedents of profile membership were subjective health status, the child's adjustment to school, working hours, the community's suitability for childrearing, and satisfaction with community service facilities. Regarding psychological outcomes, the levels of life satisfaction, marital satisfaction, and job satisfaction were higher in the following order: enriched, moderate, and mixed profiles. The levels of depressive symptoms were in the reverse order: mixed, moderate, and enriched profiles. This study contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the literature on work-family interactions by considering various predictors and outcomes at multiple levels.

This study examined the effects of the revised and newly established family care leave and vacation systems in 2019 on the work-family balance of female managers. A total of 1,040 female managers with experience in using the systems were selected as the analysis subjects from the 2020 Women Managers Panel data. Propensity score matching and multiple regression analysis were conducted. The propensity score matching results showed that the family care time of the users of the family care leave was significantly lower than that of non-users, and both the work-family conflict and home-work conflict levels were significantly higher for the users than the non-users. For the family care vacation, the family care time of its users was significantly higher in national and local government organizations than that if its non-users. The results of multiple regression analysis indicated that the use of the family care leave had a significant positive impact on home-work conflict. These findings suggest that the current family care leave and vacation system have insufficient positive effects on work-family relationships.

본 연구의 목적은 가족스트레스 이론과 선행연구를 바탕으로 하여 제안된 이론적 모델의 검증을 통하여 일과 가정생활의 두 역할을 병행하는 데서 기인하는 역할긴장이 매개변수인 가족자원과 대처방안에 의해 어떻게 중재되어 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는가를 규명하는데 있다. 다단계 추출법으로 미국 로스엔젤레스에 거주하는 한인교포 중 맞벌이부부를 연구대상으로 선정하여 질문지를 통해 남편과 아내의 자료를 표집하였지만 본 연구에서는 117명의 남편의 자료만을 결과 분석하였다. 분석방법은 이론적 검증에 유용한 LISREL Ⅶ 프로그램이 사용되었다. 처음에 제안된 이론적 모델의 검증에는 문제를 보였지만 PSI Matrix를 고정하고 가정생활의 역할 stressor와 가족자원의 경로를 첨가하여 수정된 모델은 자료에 의해 충분히 검증되었다. 그러나 남편의 이론적 모델은 가족스트레스 이론을 일반화시키지 못했기 때문에 일과 가정생활의 두 역할을 병행하는 데서 기인하는 남편의 역할긴장을 가족스트레스 이론으로 설명하는데는 문제가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 바탕으로 본 연구에서 제안된 이론적 모델의 의미와 제한점 등을 살펴본 후 미래연구가를 위한 방안이 제시되었다.

This study examined the relationship between family-friendly community characteristics and the life satisfaction of working mothers with elementary school children, and investigated whether the relationship was mediated by work-family conflict and facilitation of working mothers. For the analysis, the study used the response data of 627 working mothers from the 11th wave of the Panel Study on Korean Children (PSKC, 2019) and multi-mediation effect analyses were conducted using PROCESS. The main results are as follows. First, the higher neighbor support, the higher the work-family facilitation, which significantly increased life satisfaction. Second, the appropriateness of parenting environment and community service infrastructure satisfaction showed significant indirect effects with life satisfaction through increasing work-family facilitation and lowering work-family conflict. Moreover, the appropriateness of parenting environment was positively related with life satisfaction and it was a only variable that was directly associated with life satisfaction. On the other hand, the convenient access to community service infrastructure was found to lower work-family facilitation and lower life satisfaction, confirming the need for follow-up studies. This study shows that the family-friendly characteristics of the community are important for working mothers with elementary school-age children and provides empirical evidence to improve the family-friendly community characteristics.
