Description
Research on dual-career men and women has revealed inconsistent findings regarding gender differences in work and family experiences and outcomes. Gender has often been cited as an explanation for these disparate findings (Byron, 2005; Gutek, Searle & Klepa, 1991). However, increasingly, researchers are acknowledging that examining the impact of gender in the work-family research area may not be sufficient. For example, Livingston and Judge (2008) believe that gender role orientation may be ... a better lens through which to examine work-family conflict" (p. 207). Others recognize that gender is about both sex and about gender role socialization (Ely & Padavic, 2007). Thus, it is important to examine gender role socialization, as evidence suggests that while gender may be related to gender role socialization, the two are not identical (Ely & Padavic, 2007; Livingston & Judge, 2008). Gender role socialization is reflected in attitudes and normative beliefs that have important implications for work-family research. Individuals subscribing to traditional gender roles hold the normative belief that men should be the breadwinners for the family, with women taking on the roles of caretakers and nurturers (Archer & Lloyd, 2002; Cinamon & Rich, 2002; Eagly, 1983). On the other hand, individuals accepting less traditional beliefs about dual-career relationships expect that women and men should associate with, and contribute to, their work and family roles equally (Hochschild, 1989; Livingston & Judge, 2008).
