Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the gender role ideology of Korean dual-earner couples on marital satisfaction through work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict. The subjects of the study were 4059 participants (2434 men and 1625 women) in South Korea selected from the 2015 Fact-Finding Survey in Families. Results of the study revealed that women scored higher on gender role ideology and family-to-work conflict, but men scored higher on work-to-family conflict and marital satisfaction. Gender role ideology had a significant indirect relationship on marital satisfaction through family-to-work conflict for men in the study, but there was no significant indirect relationship found for the women studied. Gender differences existed between marital satisfaction and its predicting variables. Based on the results of this study, the discussion in this article addresses implications and future research directions.
