A work-life conflict perspective on telework.

Project description:Telework has been promoted for decades as one of the traffic demand management policies to alleviate congestion during peak periods and reduce work-related trips, along with other benefits. However, less clear is the role played by life stages (i.e., gender, marital status and parenthood) on telework behavior. This study investigated to which extent telework frequency associated with life stages, and how these associations could be explained based on the work-life conflict perspective. Representative data were obtained from German Microcensus 2010 (N = 188,081 participants). The outcome variable was measured as ordered telework participation levels (i.e., never, infrequently and frequently). After testing for multicollinearity, a zero-inflated ordered probit regression model was applied to assess the associations between telework and family-life stages, while adjusting for individual, household, job-related and environmental characteristics. Results suggest that life stages associate with telework behavior in a complex way. Three patterns have been distinguished. Specifically, irrespective of gender and marital status, parents are less likely to telework compared to those without children. Regarding individuals without children, single individuals are more likely to telework than married ones, and males more likely than females. In contrast, for individuals with children, the partnered parents are more likely to telework than single parents, and females more likely than males. Our findings suggest that as the most important feature in family-life stages, children play a vital role in telework behavior. It not only increases both work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict, but also triggers housework re-division within couples and aggravates gender differences. Policies that support formal childcare resources could relieve the family-to-work conflict and encourage people to work at home.

Dataset describing problem factors of partnering relationships in the Malaysian construction industry.

Project description:The dataset indicates the problem factors which may influence the development of partnering relationship between two key project parties - the main contractor and the subcontractor. A total of 53 problem factors were identified and were clustered into five categories. An online questionnaire was used to elicit the viewpoints of these key parties with regards to the extent to which the factors have an impact on the partnering relationship in the Malaysian construction industry. The target respondents were managers and engineers of various construction companies in Malaysia with the main contractors or subcontractors who have projects in Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai and New Delhi. Both descriptive and quantitative analysis approaches were used to present the data. Relative Importance Index method was used to determine the top challenges to building favourable partnering relationships; and Partial Least Squares Structural-Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) analysis was conducted to examine the role played by each cluster of factors in explaining the quality of partnering relationship between the main contractors and subcontractors. This data set would assist practitioners to work on the major problem factors to improve the quality of partnering relationship between the key participants in their present and future construction projects. By eliminating or minimizing these problem factors, practitioners will contribute significantly to effective supply chain management in the construction industry. The data would be of value to academics and industry professionals involved in the construction business domestically and internationally.

Effects of nurses' shiftwork characteristics and aspects of private life on work-life conflict.

Project description:BackgroundAs nurses work highly irregular hours, the characteristics of shiftwork and aspects of their private lives are important factors that may contribute significantly to work-life conflict.PurposeThis study examined the effects of nurses' shiftwork characteristics and aspects of their private lives on work-life conflict.MethodsThe participants included 271 registered nurses working three-shift rotations in five types of units at four hospitals in South Korea. We distributed structured questionnaires regarding shiftwork characteristics, private life, and work-life conflict. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis.ResultsThe significant factors relating to work-life conflict included control over shift start and finish times (β = -0.16, p = .019), frequency of swapping shifts with colleagues (β = 0.15, p = .025) among shiftwork characteristics, and leisure constraints (β = 0.39, p = < .001) in aspects of private life.ConclusionPlan and policies for improving nursing environments should focus on improving nurses' control over shiftwork and decreasing leisure constraints.

Women (Do Not) Belong Here: Gender-Work Identity Conflict among Female Police Officers.

Project description:The current paper examines antecedents and consequences of perceiving conflict between gender and work identities in male-dominated professions. In a study among 657 employees working in 85 teams in the police force, we investigated the effect of being different from team members in terms of gender on employees' perception that their team members see their gender identity as conflicting with their work identity. As expected in the police force as a male-dominated field, the results showed that gender-dissimilarity in the team was related to perceived gender-work identity conflict for women, and not for men. In turn, perceiving gender-work identity conflict was related to lower team identification for men and women. Although lowering team identification might enable employees to cope with conflicting social identities and hence protect the self, this may also have its costs, as lower team identification predicted higher turnover intentions, more burn-out symptoms, less extra role behavior, lower job satisfaction, lower work motivation, and lower perceived performance. Additionally, for women, experiencing support from their team members and team leader showed a trend to mitigate the relationship between gender-dissimilarity and perceived gender-work identity conflict, and a positive diversity climate was marginally related to less perceived gender-work identity conflict. The results show the importance of the team context in shaping a climate of (in)compatible identities for numerically underrepresented and historically undervalued social group members in order to hinder or protect their work outcomes.

Work-Family Conflict and Job Outcomes for Construction Professionals: The Mediating Role of Affective Organizational Commitment.

Project description:This study developed and tested a model, which involves the effects of work-family conflicts on job satisfaction and job performance of construction professionals, with a focus on the mediating role of affective organizational commitment. A structured questionnaire survey was conducted among construction professionals in China, resulting in 317 valid responses. The results, generated from structural equation modelling, revealed two interrelated dimensions of work-family conflicts, work's interfering with family life and family life's interfering with work. We found these two types of work-family conflicts directly, negatively affected affective organizational commitments and job satisfaction but not job performance. Additionally, affective organizational commitment positively affected job satisfaction and job performance, and mediated the effects of work-family conflicts on job satisfaction. This study advances our understanding of how or why work-family conflicts produce dysfunctional effects on employees' job outcomes in the context of construction projects.
