Studies of intimate partner violence (IPV) and work have been primarily conducted with women in low-wage low-status (LWLS) positions, as much of this research has focused on poverty, welfare, and homelessness. Although women in LWLS positions represent a large percentage of working women in the United States, it is also important to investigate experiences of women in high-wage high-status (HWHS) positions because a growing number of women are employed within such jobs. We propose gender role theory can be used to explain occurrences of IPV among women in HWHS positions and their utilization of organizational benefits. We suggest those in HWHS positions may be likely to have access to organizational benefits (e.g., medical, vacation, and flexible work schedules) and the ability to utilize the Family and Medical Leave Act. However, prevailing gender roles existing in organizations may render women in HWHS positions unlikely to use benefits or to take leave.
关于亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）与工作的研究主要是针对处于低薪低地位（LWLS）岗位的女性开展的，因为这类研究大多聚焦于贫困、福利和无家可归问题。尽管处于LWLS岗位的女性在美国职业女性中占比很大，但调查处于高薪高地位（HWHS）岗位的女性的经历也很重要，因为越来越多的女性受雇于这类工作岗位。我们认为，性别角色理论可用于解释HWHS岗位女性中IPV的发生情况及其对组织福利的利用。我们指出，处于HWHS岗位的女性可能更有可能获得组织福利（如医疗、休假和灵活的工作时间表），并有能力利用《家庭和医疗休假法》。然而，组织中普遍存在的性别角色可能使处于HWHS岗位的女性不太可能使用福利或休假。
