기혼 여성 근로자의 일가정 갈등에 관한 연구 동향 분석: 사무직 근로자를 위한 시사점

This study analyzed the trends in domestic academic research over the past decade on workfamily conflict among married female workers to draw implications for female office workers. the PRISMAmethod, 30 relevant papers published between 2013 and 2023 were analyzed according to criteria such as research methods, study subjects, topics, and variable utilization. Thefindings are as follows. First, quantitative research dominated the literature, especially cross-sectional surveys, while longitudinal, qualitative, and mixed-method studies were scarce, indicating limitations in understanding the contextual dynamics and long-term changes in work-family conflict. Second, while studies examined general workers, research focusing on office workers limited, comprising only three papers. Third, research themes predominantly explored antecedents of conflict, whereas studies examining outcomes and mitigation strategies were relatively rare. In particular, few studies considered special contextssuch as the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the need for research sensitive to environmental and societal changes. Fourth, workfamily conflict was examined as an independent or dependent variable, with no studies utilizing it as a moderator. This the need for future research to investigate workfamily conflict as a moderator interacting with various external factors. Academically, this study underscores the necessity for research that reflects the unique characteristics of female office workers, encourages methodological diversity, and advocates expanding the role of work-family conflict as a moderating variable. Practically, it the importance of organizational support and flexible work environments to alleviate digital workload pressures and blurred boundaries between work and personal life experienced by female office workers. This study foundational insights for future research and policy development targeting work-family conflict among female office workers.
