摘要：Purpose: This study examined the interaction between work role overload, work-to-family conflict, and departmental/division culture conducive to women’s academic success. Methods: All women assistant and associate professors eligible for promotion from the Departments of Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Pediatrics were invited to complete a validated web-based survey that measured work-to-family conflict, work hours, work role overload, and culture conducive to women’s academic success (Westring et al., 2012). Results: With 88 survey respondents, high work role overload was associated with increased levels of work-tofamily conflict while those who reported a higher culture conducive to women’s academic success reported less work-to-family conflict. Culture conducive to women’s academic success did not moderate the impact of work demand on work-to-family conflict. Conclusions: While departmental/division culture was important, it was not sufficient to completely mitigate workto-family conflict. Work demand appears to impact work-to-family conflict related to strain, in which women report being too stressed by work to focus on their family and their own health and wellness. Employers can greatly impact work culture by reducing the strain of work demands that interfere with women pursuing promotion, increase burnout, and contribute to women faculty deciding to work part-time.
