Abstract

|
Based on the grounded theory of Strauss and Corbin(1998), a qualitative research was performed to investigate and elucidate the work-family role conflict of working women and their coping experiences. The participants were 12 professional career women in their mid 30’s to mid 40’s with school aged children. The data were collected through
indepth interviews. The analysis revealed ‘over-burden tension and confusion’ as the central phenomenon of work-family role conflict. The integration of the causal conditions, contextual conditions, intervening conditions, action/interaction strategies and consequences showed ‘maintaining focus and reestablishment in the midst of over-burden tension and confusion’ as the core categories. The analysis of the core categories showing repeated relation with the and confusion were classified as ‘struggle with over-burden tension’, ‘confusion-conflict’, and ‘on going adjustment?’ types. The coping phases of role conflict were ‘over-burden tension and confusion’, ‘search and maintain balance’, and ‘readjustment’. The results of this study provides an understanding and implications for the interventional point and orientation of social welfare practice for professional women with school aged children.
