An Unforeseen Story of Alpha-woman: Breadwinner Women Are More Likely to Quit the Job in Work-Family Conflicts Applied Economics 52,55 (2020): 6009-6021. Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00036846.2020.1781775 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Employment History; Family Decision-making/Conflict; Gender Attitudes/Roles; Job Turnover; Maternal Employment Extensive research studied the effect of work-family conflicts on employee turnover, however, limited studies explored how work-family conflicts might influence the turnover decision. This paper utilizes role congruity theory and predicts that the employee vulnerability to work-family conflicts might be enhanced when their perceived and actual parental roles are incongruent. This study examines the life history of 8,616 working parents in the U.S. National Longitudinal Surveys and finds that there is a gender difference in how employees respond to increasing family demands. Ironically, the results of this study indicate that growing family demands influence women to quit the job when they are the dominant financial provider to the family. Family demands did not have a significant effect on employee turnover for non-breadwinner women. Men are more likely to stay in the job as the family demand increases. The findings suggest that role-incongruity might be a substantial influence on how employees handle work-family conflicts. We also discuss the policy implications from this study. |
