This article examines the level of work-family conflict of self-employed persons, a changing but neglected group in work-life research, compared to employees in Europe. Differences between the two groups are explained by looking at job demands and resources. The inclusion of work-family state support makes it possible to examine differences between countries. Multilevel analysis has been applied to data from the European Social Survey (ESS 2010). The results show that job demands and resources operate differently for employees and the self-employed. The relationship between employment type and WFC is mediated mainly by job demands such as working hours, working at short notice, job insecurity and supervisory work. The results also reveal variation across countries that cannot be explained by state support, signalling the need for a more complete understanding of WFC from a cross-national perspective.
本文研究了自雇人士的工作-家庭冲突程度，与欧洲的雇员相比，自雇人士在工作与生活研究中是一个不断变化但被忽视的群体。通过考察工作要求和资源来解释这两组之间的差异。纳入工作-家庭国家支持使得考察各国之间的差异成为可能。对欧洲社会调查（2010年欧洲社会调查）的数据进行了多层次分析。结果表明，工作要求和资源对雇员和自雇人士的影响方式不同。就业类型与工作-家庭冲突之间的关系主要由工作时长、临时工作、工作不安全感和监督工作等工作要求介导。结果还揭示了各国之间的差异，而这些差异无法通过国家支持来解释，这表明需要从跨国视角更全面地理解工作-家庭冲突。
