Sažetak
Scientists have been including variables of gender and
attitudes towards marital roles as relevant variables in most
recent research in the area of examining work-family conflict.
There is also a growing emphasis on using a dyadic approach
in research involving marital couples as respondents.
The aim of this study was to establish whether gender
differences in the work-to-family and family-to-work conflict
exist and to determine the relationship between these
conflicts and attitudes toward marital roles and the dyadic
measure of difference between marital couples in these
attitudes. There were 354 respondents (177 marital couples)
from the Republic of Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina.
They were divided based on their personal attitudes towards
marital roles and the level of differences between them and
their partners in these attitudes using a dyadic analysis
approach. The results show no sign of gender differences in
the level of both conflicts. Also, personal attitudes did not
determine the differences in conflict, but the difference in
attitudes between marital spouses did determine the levels of
both conflicts. Those who were more similar to their spouses
in their attitudes, perceived lower levels of both work-to-
-family and family-to-work conflict.
