| Summary: | This study focused on comparing gender-related perspectives on the
occurrence of work-family conflicts and their antecedents in the
context of Brazilian medical professionals’ careers. The results indicate
that, the greater the stressors present at work or within the family, the
greater the level of conflict tends to be, but, the greater the social
support in these two spheres, the lesser the conflict is likely to be.
Stressors related to work are more significant than those related to the
family, while social support at work contributes to diminishing
stressors’ effects in both spheres. Even though women experience
more stress at work on average and receive less social support, no
significant gender-related differences exist in terms of work-family
conflict. These findings contribute to a more accurate understanding of
how best to minimise these conflicts and promote gender equality and
medical workers’ wellbeing |
