Clotilde Coron published her paper “Stéréotypes de genre et conflit entre travail et famille en Europe : une analyse sur plusieurs dimensions” in Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations.
Abstract: The existing literature has examined the links between gender and work-family conflict, but little has been done to explore the moderating effect of gender stereotypes on the differentiated effects of gender according to direction (work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict) and/or dimension (time, tension, behaviour, cognition). This research uses the latest wave of the European Working Conditions Survey to examine the moderating effect of gender stereotypes at the national level on the effects of gender on four combinations (direction x dimension) of work-family conflict. The results show that work-family conflict is lower in countries characterised by a more egalitarian view of gender, and that for two of the four combinations, and for the overall conflict, this effect is more marked for men than for women. These results allow us to discuss existing literature in the light of gender role theory.
