In the manufacturing industry, work-family conflict (WFC) is related to working hour characteristics. Earlier studies on the relationship between working hour characteristics and WFC in the manufacturing industry have been limited to some regions in Korea. No study has addressed the data on a national scale. Thus, this study investigated the impact of weekly working hours, weekend work, and shift work on WFC using national-scale data.
This study was based on the fifth Korean Working Conditions Survey of 5,432 manufacturers. WFC consists of 5 variables; WFC1 "kept worrying about work"; WFC2 "felt too tired after work"; WFC3 "work prevented time for family"; WFC4 "difficult to concentrate on work"; WFC5 "family responsibilities prevented time for work". As WFC refers to the inter-role conflict between the need for paid work and family work, WFC has been measured in two directions, work to family conflict (WTFC: WFC1, 2, 3) and family to work conflict (FTWC: WFC4, 5). With these WFC variables, we conducted multiple logistic analyses to study how working hours, weekend work, and shift work impact WFC.
Korean manufacturers' prolonged working hours increased all aspects of WFCs. Odds ratios (ORs) of WFCs based on working hours (reference of under 40 hours) of 41-52, 53-60, over 61 were 1.247, 1.611, 2.279 (WFC1); 1.111, 2.561, 6.442 (WFC2); 1.219, 3.495, 8.327 (WFC3); 1.076, 2.019, 2.656 (WFC4); and 1.166, 1.592, 1.946 (WFC5), respectively. Shift-work in the WFC2 model showed a significantly higher OR of 1.390. Weekend work 'only on Saturday' had significant ORs with WFC2 (1.323) and WFC3 (1.552).
An increase in working hours leads to the spending of less time attending to problems between work and family, causing both WTFC and FTWC to increase. As weekends, evenings, and nighttime are considered to be family-friendly to people, working on weekends and shift-work were highly correlated to WTFC.
在制造业中,工作-家庭冲突(WFC)与工作时间特征相关。早期关于制造业工作时间特征与WFC之间关系的研究仅限于韩国的一些地区。尚无研究涉及全国范围的数据。因此,本研究使用全国范围的数据调查了每周工作时间、周末工作和轮班工作对WFC的影响。
本研究基于对5432家制造商进行的第五次韩国工作条件调查。WFC由5个变量组成;WFC1“一直担心工作”;WFC2“下班后感觉太累”;WFC3“工作占用了陪伴家人的时间”;WFC4“难以集中精力工作”;WFC5“家庭责任占用了工作时间”。由于WFC指的是有偿工作需求和家庭工作需求之间的角色间冲突,WFC已从两个方向进行衡量,即工作对家庭的冲突(WTFC:WFC1、2、3)和家庭对工作的冲突(FTWC:WFC4、5)。利用这些WFC变量,我们进行了多项逻辑分析,以研究工作时间、周末工作和轮班工作如何影响WFC。
韩国制造商工作时间的延长增加了WFC的各个方面。基于工作时间(40小时以下为参照)的WFC的优势比(OR),41-52小时、53-60小时、61小时以上的分别为1.247、1.611、2.279(WFC1);1.111、2.561、6.442(WFC2);1.219、3.495、8.327(WFC3);1.076、2.019、2.656(WFC4);以及1.166、1.592、1.946(WFC5)。WFC2模型中的轮班工作显示出显著更高的OR,为1.390。“仅在周六”的周末工作与WFC2(1.323)和WFC3(1.552)有显著的OR。
工作时间的增加导致用于处理工作和家庭之间问题的时间减少,从而导致WTFC和FTWC都增加。由于周末、晚上和夜间对人们来说被认为是有利于家庭的,周末工作和轮班工作与WTFC高度相关。
