Abstract
SUMMARY This paper analyzes gender differences in work and family role strain among academic faculty with survey data from a public university in the Western United States. The results indicate that faculty women and men experience comparable levels of work and family role strain, but differ in the sources of that strain. For women, family conditions are the dominant source of strain, whereas for men, conditions of work matter most. Nonetheless, there are conditions of work and family that increase work and family role strain regardless of gender. These results are discussed in light of evolving gender roles, and the imperative that universities respond to work and family issues.
