Abstract
ABSTRACT Women early in their career life cycle navigate gender roles and make decisions about their professional and personal lives. These decisions and experiences establish an important foundation for women’s occupational trajectories and may inform career development efforts. Thus, we examined communal and agentic behaviours at work and at home among employed, heterosexual, emerging adult women (N = 182) in the US. Quantitative cluster analyses indicated unique configurations of agentic and communal behaviour among women with implications for women’s job and romantic relationship satisfaction. Results further psychological insight into gender-role-related outcomes in work and life settings and provide material to broadly inform future research and organizational-level and societal-level interventions focused on helping women thrive at work and home.
