Abstract

Background: In the manufacturing industry, work-family conflict (WFC) is related to working hour characteristics. Earlier studies on the relationship between working hour characteristics and WFC in the manufacturing industry have been limited to some regions in Korea. No study has addressed the data on a national scale. Thus, this study investigated the impact of weekly working hours, weekend work, and shift work on WFC using national-scale data.

Methods: This study was based on the fifth Korean Working Conditions Survey of 5,432 manufacturers. WFC consists of 5 variables; WFC1 "kept worrying about work"; WFC2 "felt too tired after work"; WFC3 "work prevented time for family"; WFC4 "difficult to concentrate on work"; WFC5 "family responsibilities prevented time for work". As WFC refers to the inter-role conflict between the need for paid work and family work, WFC has been measured in two directions, work to family conflict (WTFC: WFC1, 2, 3) and family to work conflict (FTWC: WFC4, 5). With these WFC variables, we conducted multiple logistic analyses to study how working hours, weekend work, and shift work impact WFC.

Results: Korean manufacturers' prolonged working hours increased all aspects of WFCs. Odds ratios (ORs) of WFCs based on working hours (reference of under 40 hours) of 41-52, 53-60, over 61 were 1.247, 1.611, 2.279 (WFC1); 1.111, 2.561, 6.442 (WFC2); 1.219, 3.495, 8.327 (WFC3); 1.076, 2.019, 2.656 (WFC4); and 1.166, 1.592, 1.946 (WFC5), respectively. Shift-work in the WFC2 model showed a significantly higher OR of 1.390. Weekend work 'only on Saturday' had significant ORs with WFC2 (1.323) and WFC3 (1.552).

Conclusions: An increase in working hours leads to the spending of less time attending to problems between work and family, causing both WTFC and FTWC to increase. As weekends, evenings, and nighttime are considered to be family-friendly to people, working on weekends and shift-work were highly correlated to WTFC.

韩国制造企业的工作时间、周末、倒班与工作家庭矛盾的关系。

背景:在制造业中，工作家庭冲突(WFC)与工作时间特征有关。早期对制造业工作时间特征与WFC关系的研究仅限于韩国的一些地区。没有研究在全国范围内处理这些数据。因此，本研究使用全国范围的数据调查了每周工作时间、周末工作和轮班工作对WFC的影响。方法:本研究以第五次韩国工作条件调查5432家制造商为基础。WFC由5个变量组成;WFC1“一直担心工作”;WFC2“下班后觉得太累了”;WFC3“工作占用了家庭时间”;WFC4“难以集中精力工作”;WFC5“家庭责任妨碍了工作时间”。由于WFC是指有偿工作需求与家庭工作之间的角色间冲突，因此我们从两个方向测量了WFC，即工作与家庭冲突(WTFC: WFC1, 2,3)和家庭与工作冲突(FTWC: wfc4,5)。利用这些WFC变量，我们进行了多元逻辑分析，研究工作时间、周末工作和轮班工作对WFC的影响。结果:韩国生产企业工作时间的延长增加了各方面的wfc。工作时间(参照40小时以下)为41 ~ 52、53 ~ 60、61以上的wfc的比值比(or)分别为1.247、1.611、2.279 (WFC1);1.111, 2.561, 6.442 (wfc2);1.219, 3.495,8.327 (wfc3);1.076, 2.019, 2.656 (wfc4);和1.166、1.592、1.946 (WFC5)。WFC2模型中Shift-work的OR值为1.390。周末工作“仅在周六”与WFC2(1.323)和WFC3(1.552)有显著的or值。结论:随着工作时间的增加，员工在处理工作与家庭之间的问题上所花费的时间会减少，从而导致WTFC和FTWC的增加。由于周末、晚上和夜间被认为对人们来说是家庭友好的，因此周末工作和轮班工作与WTFC高度相关。

期刊介绍： Annals of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (AOEM) is an open access journal that considers original contributions relevant to occupational and environmental medicine and related fields, in the form of original articles, review articles, short letters and case reports. AOEM is aimed at clinicians and researchers working in the wide-ranging discipline of occupational and environmental medicine. Topic areas focus on, but are not limited to, interactions between work and health, covering occupational and environmental epidemiology, toxicology, hygiene, diagnosis and treatment of diseases, management, organization and policy. As the official journal of the Korean Society of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (KSOEM), members and authors based in the Republic of Korea are entitled to a discounted article-processing charge when they publish in AOEM.
