Abstract

This study investigates the effect of gender role attitude and work·family balance on life stress for married career women. We also explore the mediating effect of marital intimacy on the relation between gender role attitude, work·family balance, and life stress. The subjects were married women from the five year data of the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Family (KLoWF). Data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, structural equational models, and Sobel test with SPSS software ver. 23.0, and Amos software ver. 23.0. The findings are as follows. First, gender role attitude had a direct effect on life stress, but work·family balance had no significant effect on life stress. Second, marital intimacy mediated between gender role attitude, work·family balance, and life stress. In conclusion, the results can be used as basic data to prevent life stress in married career women and increase marital intimacy.
