Work-Family Conflict of Hungarian Manager Fathers = Munka és család közötti konfliktus a magyar menedzser férfiak életében

Abstract

The purpose of this dissertation is to contribute to the Hungarian literature on the work-family interface by analysing manager fathers and the work-family conflicts they perceive. The dissertation was structured along the three types of work-family conflict, time-based, behaviour-based and strain-based conflict, also including the organizational and gender context. Three research questions were formulated: how do manager fathers experience conflicts between their work and family lives; how does the organization they are working for influence their capability of achieving work-family balance, especially in the frame of flexibility; and finally, how do discourses on managerial masculinity or involved fathering affect their work-family balance.
