摘要

本文调查了在利雅得，沙特阿拉伯的医疗保健行业的工作母亲的工作与生活的平衡。它的目的是确定在职业母亲中造成家庭-工作冲突(家庭对工作的影响)和工作-家庭冲突(工作对家庭的影响)的因素，并决定哪些措施对工作或家庭、家庭冲突或家庭冲突产生消极影响。它利用Netemeyer等人(Citation1996)的WFC和FWC量表来检查哪些领域导致职业母亲的冲突最多。采用描述性调查研究设计，选取80名受访者进行分析。结果显示，许多因素导致了职业母亲的WFC。例如，工作所需的时间使履行家庭责任变得困难。此外，许多因素导致了职业母亲的FWC，例如家庭生活干扰了工作责任，例如按时上班，完成日常任务，加班，以及由于家庭或配偶/伴侣的要求而不得不推迟工作任务。最后，工作对家庭的影响大于家庭对工作的影响。根据调查结果，研究人员建议，为了帮助私营部门的职业母亲，应该举办有效的时间管理、压力管理、预防倦怠等培训课程。股东、决策者和对工作与生活平衡感兴趣的机构可以从研究结果中受益，从而制定项目和计划，帮助医疗保健行业的职业母亲。因此，需要进一步的研究深入挖掘，发现研究中是否没有解决其他可能导致WFC和FWC的措施。研究者建议调查工作-生活平衡的好处，它如何影响更广泛的背景，以及如何改善它，调查工作-家庭冲突，压力，家庭工作冲突和工作投入的影响，调查工作-生活平衡与工作满意度的关系，调查家庭经济状况与工作-家庭冲突之间的联系。

Work-Life Balance of Working Mothers in the Healthcare Industry in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

This article investigated the work-life balance of working mothers in the healthcare industry in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It aimed at identifying the factors contributing to family-work conflict (FWC) (the impact of the family on the work) and work-family conflict (WFC) (the impact of the work on the family) among working mothers and deciding which measures dictate a negative impact on work or home, WFC or FWC. It utilized Netemeyer et al.’s (Citation1996) WFC and FWC Scale to examine which areas cause the most conflict for working mothers. A descriptive survey research design was applied, and 80 respondents were chosen for analysis. The results revealed that many factors contribute to WFC among working mothers. For example, the time the job requires makes it difficult to fulfill family responsibilities. Moreover, many factors contribute to FWC among working mothers, such as home life interfering with the responsibilities at work, such as arriving at work on time, accomplishing daily tasks, working overtime, and having to postpone tasks at work because of family or spouse/partner demand. Finally, the impact of work on the family is higher than that of family on work. In the light of the results, the researcher recommended holding training courses in effective time management, stress management, and burnout prevention to help working mothers in the private sector. Shareholders, decision-makers, and bodies interested in work-life balance can benefit from the results to develop programs and plans that help working mothers in the healthcare industry. Therefore, further studies are required to dig deeper and find if other measures have not been addressed in the research that may cause WFC and FWC. The researcher recommended investigating the benefits of work-life balance, how it affects the broader context, and how to improve it, investigating the impact of work–family conflict, stress, and family work conflict and job involvement, investigating the relationship between work-life balance and job satisfaction, and investigating the link between family economic status and work-family conflict.
