Abstract

Objectives This study investigated the effects of marital intimacy and gender equality consciousness on job satisfaction among married working women, and examines the mediating effect of work-family conflict in these influence relationships. Methods As for the research method, a quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted by selecting 2,083 married and working women as the study subjects in the Women and Family Panel Survey 2018 (9,602 women). For data analysis, SPSS 25 program was used. In order to verify the mediating effect of work-family conflict, the three-step analysis method of Baron & Kenny (1986) was selected. Results A summary of the results of this study is as follows. First, married working women's marital intimacy was found to have a statistically significant (+) effect on job satisfaction (p<.01). Second, the gender equality consciousness of married working women was found to have a statistically significant positive (+) effect on job satisfaction (p<.05). In addition, marital intimacy was found to have a positive effect on reducing work-family conflict, which showed a statistically significant result (p<.01). Third, marital intimacy alleviated work-family conflict, and alleviated work-family conflict had a positive effect on improving work satisfaction at work (p<.001), and gender equality awareness also reduced work-family conflict. It was confirmed that work-family conflict that was alleviated and alleviated increased work satisfaction (p<.001). Conclusions Based on this, in order to improve job satisfaction of married working women, it will be necessary to intervene in social welfare practices, such as developing programs and building infrastructure to increase marital intimacy and awareness of gender equality. In addition, the government, local governments, and local communities should connect and expand a family-friendly system that can reduce work-family conflict. Therefore, this study intends to provide the implications and basic data for improving job satisfaction among married working women.
