The relationship between school work family conflict, subjective stress, and burnout
Purpose School has been neglected as a source of stress and strain resulting from its inevitable conflict with work and family role demands among married, working students. The meager research available has examined only work school (not school work) conflict among adolescents and college students and only three studies (two unpublished) have developed measures of conflict involving work, family, and school without studying its antecedents and consequences. The purpose of this paper is to examine all six school work family interrole conflicts and their effects on subjective stress and burnout. It was hypothesized that the greater the conflict between family, work, and school roles, the greater the subjective stress and burnout and that women experience more work family school conflicts than do men. Design/methodology/approach In total, 100 working married adult students completed self report demographic questionnaire, school work family conflict, subjective stress, and burnout scales. Findings Regre.
