Abstract

This paper aims to further the understanding about the relationship between work–life conflict and possible barriers to career progression due to the perception of anticipated work–life conflict, considering the unbounded nature of academic work through features such as its intensity, flexibility and perception of organizational support.,The model was tested using survey data from academics in a public university in the south of Spain. Hierarchical regression analyses were used to test the hypotheses.,The results reveal that current work–life conflict, job intensity and perception of support have a direct effect on the anticipation of work–life conflict in the event of progression in academic careers. The flexibility that academics enjoy is not sufficient to prevent the expected conflict. Academics' age is relevant, but gender or having childcare responsibilities have no significant effect of the anticipation of conflict.,This study addresses the gap in the literature on anticipated work–life conflict, expanding the focus to nonfamily commitments in unbounded jobs such as academic posts. The authors are not aware of any other study that focuses on the anticipation of work–life conflict in the case of career advancement among current employees with professional experience or accurate knowledge of what job they will be doing instead of students. Work–life balance should not be restricted to women with caring responsibilities, as conflict is no longer only related to gender roles.,This paper not only explores existing work–life conflict but also empirically analyzes anticipated work–life conflict in unbounded careers such as academia. It represents a significant contribution in an underresearched field and may lead to future research in other settings.
对高等教育中工作与生活冲突的预期
本文旨在通过学术工作的强度、灵活性和组织支持感知等特征,考虑到学术工作的无限性,进一步理解工作与生活冲突之间的关系,以及预期工作与生活的冲突可能导致的职业发展障碍。,该模型使用西班牙南部一所公立大学的学者的调查数据进行了测试。采用层次回归分析对假设进行检验。,研究结果表明,当前的工作-生活冲突、工作强度和对支持的感知对学术生涯发展中的工作-人生冲突的预期有直接影响。学术界享有的灵活性不足以防止预期的冲突。学者的年龄是相关的,但性别或有育儿责任对冲突的预期没有显著影响。,这项研究解决了文献中关于预期工作与生活冲突的空白,将重点扩展到无限制工作(如学术职位)中的非家庭承诺。作者不知道有任何其他研究关注在职业发展的情况下,在有专业经验或准确了解自己将要做什么工作的现有员工中,而不是学生对工作与生活冲突的预期。工作与生活的平衡不应仅限于负有照顾责任的妇女,因为冲突不再仅仅与性别角色有关。,本文不仅探讨了现有的工作-生活冲突,而且实证分析了学术界等无限制职业中预期的工作-生命冲突。它在一个研究不足的领域做出了重大贡献,并可能导致未来在其他环境中的研究。
