According to the evidence, female administrators are forced to fill both domestic and administrative tasks in their families and places of employment. They occasionally face demands from these roles that are out of their control. As a result, they experience fatigue and conflict from these demands. Based on these reasons, we studied the effects of an exercise-based counselling intervention on work-family conflict and occupational dysfunctional thinking in a sample of female educational administrators in light of these circumstances.
A randomized control design was used, and a total of 86 school principals took part in the survey. Using scales to measure work-family conflict, participants were tested before and then tested twice (post-test and follow-up test) after completing an exercise-based counseling intervention. The intervention lasted for 14 weeks, with each session lasting one hour. Meanwhile, those in the comparison group were placed on a waitlist. The intervention aimed to enhance participants' perceptions of work-family life. Univariate analysis, partial eta square analysis, and repeated measures analysis of variance were used to analyze the data that had been obtained.
The results showed that, among female administrators who had received the exercise-based counselling intervention, there had been a considerable improvement in a decrease in work-family conflict management. The results also suggest a statistically significant effect of time on work-family conflict among female administrators. The follow-up result reveals that the effectiveness of exercise-based counselling intervention was maintained over time in reducing work-family conflict.
The conclusion suggests that female administrators of schools exposed to exercise-based counselling intervention understand, perceive, and interpret conflicting work-family issues realistically, and that reduced work-family conflict.

根据证据,女性管理人员在家庭和工作场所被迫承担家务和管理任务。她们偶尔会面临来自这些角色的无法控制的要求。因此,她们因这些要求而感到疲惫和冲突。基于这些原因,鉴于这些情况,我们研究了基于锻炼的咨询干预对女性教育管理人员样本中的工作家庭冲突和职业功能失调思维的影响。
采用随机对照设计,共有86名中小学校长参与调查。使用量表测量工作家庭冲突,参与者在完成基于锻炼的咨询干预之前进行测试,之后进行两次测试(后测和随访测试)。干预持续14周,每次课程持续一小时。同时,将对照组的人员列入候补名单。该干预旨在增强参与者对工作家庭生活的认知。使用单因素分析、偏 eta 平方分析和重复测量方差分析对获得的数据进行分析。
结果表明,在接受基于锻炼的咨询干预的女性管理人员中,工作家庭冲突管理的减少有了显著改善。结果还表明时间对女性管理人员的工作家庭冲突有统计学上的显著影响。随访结果显示,基于锻炼的咨询干预在减少工作家庭冲突方面的效果随时间得以维持。
结论表明,接受基于锻炼的咨询干预的学校女性管理人员能够现实地理解、认知和解释相互冲突的工作家庭问题,并且减少了工作家庭冲突。
