Some Major Antecedents of Work-Family Conflict among Married Male and Female Professionals

The primary purpose of this study was to explore some major antecedents of work-family conflict among married male and female professionals (Medical doctors, Engineers, Lawyers, Professors and Directors). In addition, this study attempted to develop the Myanmar version of the Work-Family Conflict Scale (WFC) based on a translation of Carlson, Kacmar, and Williams’ (2000) original instrument. Specific hypotheses (5 in number) were derived from the general proposition and then they were tested using a sample of 209 professionals from Mandalay and Magway. Regression results indicated that work role conflict, family role conflict and family role ambiguity were positively correlated with work-family conflict and family-work conflict. Furthermore, external locus of control was positively related to work-family conflict. However, work role ambiguity, social support and Type A personality were not associated with work-family conflict. These findings are presented together with the suggestion that future research should further examine the role of WFC and its influence on the well-being of Myanmar professionals

The Prevalence, Antecedents and Consequences of Sexual Harassment in the Myanmar Workplace

The primary purpose of this study was to explore female workers experiences of sexual harassment and the antecedents and the outcomes of those experiences in the Myanmar workplace. Using the Myanmar versions of Sexual Experiences Questionnaire developed originally by Fitzgerald and colleagues (1988, 1995), a questionnaire survey of working women in Myanmar was conducted. The representative sample included 271 working Myanmar women at a university, along with government and private sectors. The antecedent variables (personal vulnerability, organizational context) and three general types of negative outcome variables (psychological outcomes, physical outcomes, and work-related outcomes) were identified through victims of sexual harassment. Analyses explored the relationship of these antecedents and negative outcomes to type of sexual harassment, and the victim's coping responses. In addition, the influences of self-role belief and attribution style were explored

An investigation of the relationship between attachment styles and work-family linkage.

This study attempts to explore whether different models of work-family relationship were possible for individuals with different attachment styles. A questionnaire survey was conducted using 263 employees working in four private and government sectors, Mandalay. Results suggested that individuals with a negative view of self (preoccupied and fearful) special usage is allowed were more likely to experience negative spillover from the family/home to the work domain than individuals with a positive view of self (secure and dismissing). Individuals with a preoccupied attachment pattern were more likely to experience negative spillover from work to the family domains than those with a secure or dismissing in style. Securely attached individuals experienced positive spillover in both work and family domains more than those in the other groups. Dismissing individuals were more likely to use a segmentation strategy than the other 3 attachment groups. However, when the conventional job satisfaction-life satisfaction relationship was examined, the data provided only partial support for the spillover model. Implications of the findings for both attachment and work-family relationship literatures are discussed
