Abstract:
The study was designed to investigate work-family conflict in Type A and Type B professional women. Sample consisted of 170 professional women belonging to two different occupations, namely, teaching and medical. It was hypothesized that there would be a significant positive relationship between Type A behavior and workfamily conflict and that Type A professional women would experience more inter-role conflict involving work and family roles than Type B women. The sample was classified as Type A or Type B personality on the basis of scores they obtained on Anjum Khalique Type A Scale (Anjum & Khalique, 1991). Family Conflict Scale (Bohen & Viveros-Long, 1981) was used to measure work-family conflict. Findings indicated a significant positive relationship between Type A behavior and work-family conflict; also Type A women experienced significantly greater work-family conflict as compared to Type B women. The results have important implications for women's adjustment to their familial and professional roles.
