摘要：Aims and Objectives: The current study aimed to identify the presence of Work-Family Conflicts, Marital Conflicts and Accommodation in the reports of married working women. Gender conflicts are present in issues and pressures pertaining to the family, work, marriage and the household. These concepts of Work-Family Conflict (WFC) and accommodation are central to this study. Material and Methods: The sample for this study consisted of married working women of South Indian background. The total sample comprised of 38 married working women. The information was collected by circulating the pre-tested structured google form questionnaire containing questions on work family conflict and marital conflict. Outcome: Correlating the overall responses in terms of majorities for particular questions shows us the phenomena we are inclined to study. We can identify WFC experiences from the majority responses being affirmative for the interference of time spent on work with family or vice versa (64.9%) and the majority responses for ever feeling the need to prioritise work over family in order to prove themselves in a work environment (64.9%). The responses indicating accommodation in spite of discontent is indicated through various responses. An unfavourable division of household labour is indicated by the little household help from spouses (75.7%) and the majority responding with taking full responsibility for the organisation of housework (62.2%). The attitude of the partners themselves are indicated for the spouse by the responses indicating they do not fully realise how difficult the housework can be (67.6%) and for the respondents by the majority being somewhat dissatisfied with the division (62.2%). However, in spite of these responses and their uniformity, a majority has reported no disagreements having ever risen over chores. This correlates to the theory of marital accommodation, by which women do not express their complaints freely and adjust to the gender roles in spite of working full-time or part-time jobs.
